Digital Black and White.

This is a typical night view off my back porch. In the far distance a line of hills goes from right to left and ends in about the middle. That point is the northern bank of the Columbia River where the Columbia Bar begins, a very, very treacherous stretch of water. Seamen, sailors and fishermen have all told me this. The lights to the immediate right of that point are the lights of the village of Ilwaco. The ship in the harbor is the Regatta, waiting out the Covid pandemic here in our harbor where mooring rates are low. The ship opposite is the Oregon Responder, an oil remediation ship which no longer moors here. The foreground is the buildings associated with the West Mooring Basin of Astoria harbor. It is shot again with the Leica M8.2 and I am betting the Canon LTM 28mm f/2.8 at f/2.8. It is a nice combination.

There are scary videos online of boats and large vessels crossing the Columbia River Bar. It’s called the Graveyard of the Pacific for good reason... I read that over 2000 vessels have been lost on the bar since the late 1700s.
