On my "Sunday drive" today we were at the Columbia River Gorge and this is Vista House at Crown Point, Or.This is a close up view of the building on my last photo...and. this built as a memorial to the Oregon Pioneers and now it is also a gift shop of Oregon Souvenirs,It's located on a 733 foot cliff and is 44' around and 55' high. It was completed in 1918 and is an observatory where one can view far to the East and West down the Columbia River and one of the most spectacular vistas in the world. Most of the inside of this building is made of Tokeen Alaskan Marble and Kasota Limestone. It's one of the most photographed sites in the world. I love going up here especially when the sky is this pretty, its a huge Nat'l Forest and about 1 1/2 hrs from my home, ...thank you so much for stopping in.
