This was taken at the mouth of the Columbia River just as the sun sunk down below the horizon. The piles are old Salmon packing docks. Ships wait here for clearance to proceed up to Portland Oregon or Longview Washington. You might recognize the bridge in the distance if your are a fan of the Goonies;) Hope you like!

I love the color tone here, Paul. Great water shot with the bridge. I have never seen The Goonies all the way through yet.

Paul - In this image is the historical remnants of the fishing industry and the newer versions of shipping - all framed by a beautiful sunset. Thad

Great silhouettes Paul. The view from front to back is really good. Perfect tones.

Looks like an army of wooden soldiers just awaiting their command to move out. Wonderful color, Paul.

Wow! Look at the color in that sky! And as always, I love the haunted lonely feel of the pilings in the water!
