   4th stop   

Sunset at the Astoria-Megler Bridge , Astoria, OR

► Sunset at the Astoria-Megler Bridge 
► By total chance, I ended up at our hotel in Astoria just before sunset.  

Grabbed my gear,  walked down to the riverwalk, walked a little ways east of the bridge,

and put my drone up into the air.  Some pics from my camera and cell phone also.   And a video also!!!  Glorious ending to this day!
