The monochrome color choices, plus the light vignetting over the reasonably normal cityscape and the impossibly large and long bridge to (seemingly) nowhere imparts some of that Old Stockholm Telephone Exchange energy, a sort of “look at the improbable shit people built in the past, that had to have been photoshopped in, they really live with a bridge that big, just right there?”

They do, the bridge is huge, and I shot that from the Astoria Column about two hours ago.

Thanks for seeing my work!

    I have driven across that bridge many times. The rise up there coming into Astoria always unsettled me. Going down it wasn’t so bad, but just lifting out of the water towards the cliffside would get to me. Or it did when I was a kid and I just held that in my memory each subsequent crossing.
