From the Washington shoreline on the north side of the Columbia River, we look over the river at the gorgeous hillside of Astoria, Oregon.
This particular photo was taken on a trip to Oregon in 2014. I am posting it now in 2017 just as the Eagle Creek fire is blazing and destroying so many areas of the beautiful Columbia Gorge. I am saddened that the gorge will never quite be the same as it is now. The fire was human caused which makes it more devestating. I realize mother nature has her way of using fire to rebuild, and replenish. But human caused fired is simply so sad and devastating.
Through out the day you would not have suspected it would be a colorful sunset as there were no clouds in the sky. But as the day wore on, a line of clouds formed on the horizon, leading to this stunning display of color and sun. Taken 2017 on the shores of the causeway at Antelope Island, Utah.
