I always like to see photos from Astoria, a place I lived for seven years in the ’80s and ’90s. This one nicely captures the frequently gloomy weather.

Gorgeous photo by Danielle Hughson of Neahkahnie Mountain on the north Oregon Coast. This is one of those photos that makes me want to run out and buy a Hasselblad. You really should click through to see it larger.
Ship on the Columbia, a new post at my photoblog, The Occasional Odd Crop
This is the cargo vessel Hao Ying, on the Columbia River off Astoria, Oregon.
The Columbia is my favorite body of water. The Pacific Ocean, about 20 minutes from my house in San Diego, is fantastic, but I like the Columbia for the shipping traffic. And you can see the other side, which makes it more interesting photographically.
I do not miss Astoria’s winter weather, of which I got a reminder over my Christmas break, when I went back to visit my sons and their kids. Forty-one degrees and rain. No thanks. But having that river nearby would make up for the chill.
A walk across the Brooklyn Bridge, one of three New York photos in my latest photoblog post. See all three at The Occasional Odd Crop.
You know what we should do? We should get everybody we know who doesn’t like New York City and take them to two places - High Line Park, and the walkway across the Brooklyn Bridge. Then everybody we know would like New York City.
