I took the photo from the back deck. Anyone reading this blog will recognize the scene by now . . . except for the colors. Amazing! I was at the computer and looked out the window. Wham! Sometimes nature is just unbelievable. Some permutations of light and color remain for only a second, or a minute or two at most. Then everything changes. If you click on the photo to enlarge it, you can see the two white pinpoints of light against the hull of the ship. They're the lights of the pilot boat. I love that time of day when the intensity of small lights such as traffic lights or the lights of this boat find a match somewhere in the scene and the "big light" of the landscape is fading to black. It's hard to explain.

Well, Astoria is special, yes? Thanks for reading and for your comment. I actually couldn't believe my eyes when I went back through my photos and found this . . . then I remembered what it had been like on that evening. I was working at my desk as usual, and looked up at just the right moment, grabbed my camera and ran outside! ~Sheryl
