Description
This is a view across the treacherous Columbia River Bar, from the Oregon side looking toward Washington. Yesterday's upload, North Head Lighthouse, is around behind the round hill on the far left. You can see another lighthouse straight across the river, but we didn't have time to get there on this trip. I'll get back to it sometime soon.
The Columbia Bar is known as the graveyard of the Pacific. Since 1792, approximately 2,000 large ships have sunk in and around the Columbia Bar.
Thanks for stopping by and any comments.

Beautiful place!
Its good to see you returned safely from this "ship Graveyard -- LOL--, must be an exiting place to be, and captured very well with the warm-light!!! Have a very nice day!! Henk
Great shot
Great POV and DOF, fantastic shot!
I hear the rip-tides through there can be fierce. Great shot!
I like this scene, and especially the brown grass with the driftwood in it.
I like the detailed structures of the foreground ! Great saturated looking colours and a well chosen point of view !
Great vista and pic! My best whises for the coming year.
I see why it is dangerous. Looks like some shallows and drop offs and those headstrong waves must shove a boat around quite a bit. Excellent shot and raging color!
Fabulous scene with this wonderful light and color setting!
Yes, that bar is a killer. It's so beautiful though. This is a wonderful shot!
Wonderful and Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ♥HAPPY NEW YEAR 2008 TO YOU & YOURS ♥ Roby ;O)------------------------------------:O)

I can see why it would be considered a "graveyard". These waters look treacherous. Great shot. Aloha and Happy Holidays.

Great shot and background information. Thanks for sharing, Sig...
I was just thinking it looked so desolate, and then you mentioned all the ships going down. Definitely a harsh place to be.
