Clouds of Winter

Warrenton, Oregon ~ November 2, 2010

I liked the sky over the highway and shopping center just on the other side of the Young's Bay Bridge. I also liked the seasonal banners hanging beside the parking lot. Whoever designs and chooses these does a nice job, I think. As Cieldequimper reminded me, November is still the fall season, but our November this year was so cold, I've been thinking of it already as winter.

Here's a better view of the banner.

I love the clouds, although looking at this photo makes me dizzy.

Dungeness Crab Banner in Warrenton

In my Starbucks post, I pointed out the crab banner barely visible outside the window, and I said I'd get a photo of it sometime. Yes, that day is today! I can't say I know much about the banner, except that several of them brighten the edge of the parking lot on the Warrenton side of the Young's Bay Bridge. We have an annual Crab and Seafood Festival, and Dungeness crabs are a favorite around here, so I think the banners are simply to help "brand" our area and enliven the edge of the parking lot. They serve the purpose very well, and they make me smile. If anyone knows more, please comment on the post.

Young's Bay is below the sight line between here and the horizon, which is the Astoria peninsula. As you can see, we're enjoying some blue sky for a change.
