Astoria has hundreds of old, dead pilings along the waterfront that make for some interesting photos. I took half a dozen pictures of this sailboat before I got one that was fairly acceptable. This was around the same time as the bridge silhouette in my "Bridges" thread. The sun was just heading for the horizon.
I'm just getting back into photography after many years of doing nothing except "snapshots".
Here are some more of Willamette & Columbia rivers.
