This is the last post of the ships entering the Mighty Columbia River. The first two are of a sea-going freighter and the third is of a large barge and crane used for work along the river. I hope that you have enjoyed the photo's taken of this part of Astoria, Oregon. Thank you for taking the time to view and comment. HUGS!!!

Ah. In a frenzy of "I'll show you mine, if you show me yours" (Wait. That's backwards now!) I have this urge to get my tail over to the Bay Bridge and see what's afoot, ah, afloat. Grand images, Claudia. Very impressive tonnage out there. A working port or sea lane is alwasy fascinating.

More fine shots of shipping. As a child I used to sit for hours drawing pics of ships as they entered the Thames estuary where I lived.

Every time when a big ship had passed me while fishing at nights, it scared the heck out of me. Excellent shot. Aloha

My son was interested in that area because of the windsurfing. He lived in Beaverton,Oregon for a time (with NCD) but never did continue his passion. I asked about Tektronics, a firm I had met in 1962 as a dual trace oscilloscope competing with Hewlett-Packard. The "Pentium flaw" warranty fiasco washed away whatever good will had been established. Now I am so pleased you have taken this initiative to reestablish contact.

Oh! my sweet Claudia... superb collage.. Again the brave lil pilot boat is along side!!!!!! Dwarfed by the big ships. Suublime work. So full of joyous memories of my Papa. He sailed for years on the Bowater Line, they carried paper.. He would dock in Cornerbrook in Canada. It was a cold ould trip... His life was the sea..... I miss you.. We shall "catch up".... soon . Hugs and prayers, always my precious friend.. Di and Sir D in "the smoke" = London....... :-((
