Pre-Owned Astoria (Paperback) 1467116475 9781467116473

Fortunate to be located in the northwest corner of Oregon where the mighty Columbia River flows to the Pacific Ocean Astoria has always inspired residents and visitors. The town s spectacular natural beauty and accessible everyday life invites documentation. Those lucky enough to experience Astoria sense they are witnessing something special. More than a century ago it was a place of big fish big trees big dreams and big personalities. Luckily many professional photographers and everyday shutterbugs made it their business to capture life on the Lower Columbia from the earliest days of photography. Today there are fewer giant Chinooks and the remaining old growth is protected but the town dreams personalities and photographs remain.
