A Nice Place for an Office
The building on pilings in the center of the photo is the dispatch office of the Columbia River Bar Pilots. You reach it by way of the ramp of rust-colored wood. The white building on the left is the Astor Hotel, a landmark from almost anywhere on the Columbia River side of the hill. Astoria's downtown is about three blocks wide and runs parallel to the river. I've taken this photo from the 17th Street docks.

Very nice, Sheryl! Love that blue water. That first building reminds me a bit of the memorial at Pearl Harbor! Some churches have used this design, too, resembling a ship as the church is supposed to be a haven in troubled waters. :-)
Nice. This one works for Weekend Reflections, too... :-)
I could spend days lurking around here...
Definitely.
Have a great 4th of July and say hi to Lee!
Looks like a nice place to work.
