Under the Golden Gate Bridge, as we sailed out. The wind was blowing very strongly. It was hard to hold the camera steady. End of a beautiful day in San Francisco. Image processed with GIMP.

Along the main street near the pier in Astoria, Oregon. Lots of interesting sights in that area, not always the ones that the Chamber of Commerce promotes. Image taken with phone and processed with GIMP.
Triangle Tavern Sign

Triangle Tavern Sign

Along the main street near the pier in Astoria, Oregon. Lots of interesting sights in that area, not always the ones that the Chamber of Commerce promotes. I love the sign and the great "triangle" theme. Image taken with phone and processed with GIMP.

Under the Golden Gate Bridge. The wind was blowing very strongly. These wind surfers were will out of the main shipping channel. The tide was making, as we sailed out, adding to the danger for the surfers Image processed with GIMP.

Ship and Trolley Station (HFF)

At the trolley station near the pier in Astoria, Oregon. The trolley wasn't running, so I had to hoof it. That's our ship (Regatta) in the background. Image taken with phone and processed with GIMP.

Under the Golden Gate Bridge, as we sailed out. The wind was blowing very strongly. It was hard to hold the camera steady. End of a beautiful day in San Francisco. I like the heat waves made by the exhaust of the ship's engines. Image processed with GIMP.

We were passing Alcatraz and Sandi was taking movies. We were just about to go under the Golden Gate Bridge, as we sailed out. The wind was blowing very strongly, and her hair was sideways. It was hard to hold the camera steady. End of a beautiful day in San Francisco. Image processed with GIMP.

Golden Gate and Hot Tub

Golden Gate and Hot Tub

04 May 2024 126
We have sailed out of San Francisco, with the Golden Gate Bridge now in the background. Note the fellows sitting in the hot tub on the ship. The wind was blowing strongly, and I wouldn't want to walk around in a bathing suit. They obviously found a great place to view the majestic bridge. Image processed with GIMP.
Finnish Hall

Historic building near the pier in Astoria, Oregon. There were many immigrants in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, primarily due to the lumber industry. This building survived the construction of the huge bridge over the Columbia River. Image taken with phone and processed with GIMP.

Atomic Motel

Atomic Motel

A kinda "googie" sign on this motel in Astoria, Oregon. I walked around the port area, and saw a lot of interesting places. (Some of the rest of the motel's style could be googie as well, maybe.) Not your typical "tourist" area or center of town. Image taken with phone and processed with GIMP.
