When I was in NYC last weekend, the George Washington Bridge was all lit up. I wasn’t able to get a photo of it, but my dear sister-in-law was and this is her photo. I love this image.

Fabulous night time lighting of the George Washington Bridge in New York City

On the way back from our camping trip last week as we crossed the Puyallup River, our local volcano, AKA “the mountain,” was out and glorious. Taking lots of photos from the car window sometimes lucks out. This one is SOOC Sunday (straight out of the camera), not even cropped. Not bad!

We visited Astoria, Oregon a couple of years ago, on my birthday. Browing through old photos, I saw this view of the Astoria Bridge over the Columbia River, actually one of the most dangerous stretches of water anywhere, but so lovely on a clear spring day.

Enjoy more skies at Skywatch Friday.  Blue Monday, Outdoor Wednesday, Shadow Shot Sunday, SOOC Sunday (straight out of the camera), Scenic Sunday, and Watery Wednesday are also fun.

There’s a wonderful column, a tower, really, in Astoria, Oregon at the mouth of the Columbia River. You can climb it and the view is just as you expect, magnificent. This was taken at this time of year but a couple of years ago.

Go to Watery Wednesday for more fascinating photos of water, and Outdoor Wednesday for, well, you figure it out. Remember, you can always click on Sara’s Fave Photos above to return to the full blog with my latest post on top.

A few weeks ago we were in Portland and I took the shot from the window as we drove across the Willamette river on the Morrison bridge. I once met someone from Willamette University and he told me it’s pronounced to rhyme with “damn it” as in, “It’s Willamette, damn it!” So now you know, and the river is pronounced the same way.

Here is a post for Scenic Sunday. I think to be scenic there has to be expansive view, have sunny skies and hopefully be pretty as well. That’s what I feel is scenic, and others may have other ideas. This one of the distinctive bridge in Astoria, Oregon, qualifies. If you go there, the town has enough old buildings to be charming as well. For more scenic photography around the world, click HERE.

Last time we went to SF we took the Larkspur ferry to the new Ferry Terminal. Just wonderful, with super shopping and of course the scenery was perfect. This was taken on a warm day in February, and made me miss California so much. That’s the Bay Bridge in the distance.
