As with a number of Astoria's streets, at this point 16th Street doesn't have the support of solid ground. The intersection in the first photo is just to the left out of the picture. It's hard to see the concrete wall a few feet behind the pillars, but it's there - and it's impossible to see beyond the concrete wall to know what the structure would look like under the intersection.
For those not familiar with Astoria, Oregon, Marine Drive is at the right of the photo, with the River Walk and the Columbia River just a few paces away. The mountains are in Washington, four miles across the river. The purple building in the middel is Custard King, and on the left is Shallon Winery, which I have not shown yet. To reach downtown Astoria, travel left on Marine Drive or enter the one-way grid in the top photo.

Thanks for sharing- going this week to visit- and hit up the Custard King as well...
Even little and insignificant things things ... like road cracks look beautiful in your photographs Sheryl..
Have a nice day..
Beautiful blog. Live in a beautiful area. I congratulate the sense of taste and beauty. Marcin
That's a very interesting pattern. It's really amazing what we can find and enjoy if we bother to look.
What a fascinating pattern in the roadway. I loved the picturs of Astoria--it made me feel homesick.
My husband and our family perform drama--and we've been in Astoria many times over the years to perform.
Wonderful photos!
You have a great eye and a good imagination...works out to a very fine photo!
Hahaha!

Nice eye!
