And Everybody Wants You to Be High
Man standing on a dune as sneaker wave completely washes out the beach near CapeD. Facing North Taken 12/28/2023 Taken by KenW I am using a slow, 1/8" shutter to try an capture the massive volume of water that rushes in about every 15 to 20 mins at incoming king high tide. Just as I triggered the shutter a man walks up to the edge of the dune drop-off (the black dot). This section of the beach near Cape D North Jetty is dry one moment and then 10ft deep filled with logs and debris a moment later. It is powerful, scary, dynamic, and people often put themselves in the path of these huge moments.

The Liberty Theatre - Astoria, Oregon The Liberty Theater is a historic vaudeville theater and cinema in Astoria, Oregon, United States. Opened in 1925 as the first theater to be re-established after the destruction of the Astoria fire of 1922, the Liberty Theater was seen as symbolizing the city's rebirth. Its Italian Renaissance architectural and decorative style was unique among Astoria's commercial buildings and stood out from the rest of the post-fire reconstruction. The building was built for the theater chain of Claude Jensen and John von Herberg, one of over thirty venues they operated throughout the Pacific Northwest, and was designed by the Portland architectural firm of Bennes and Herzog.
The historic Hotel Astoria - Astoria, Oregon The John Jacob Astor Hotel, originally known as the Hotel Astoria, is a historic former hotel building located in Astoria, Oregon, United States, and listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). It is one of the tallest buildings on the Oregon Coast and is a "prominent landmark" in Astoria. Constructed in 1922–23, the hotel opened in 1924 and initially was the city's social and business hub, but soon was beset with a variety of problems, and struggled financially for years. Constructed of reinforced concrete, the eight-story John Jacob Astor Hotel building features Gothic decorative elements. The seventh floor is decorated with several escutcheons, one every third window, and the window groups at the building's corners at this level are additionally topped by rounded arches "embellished with elaborate cartouches in cast stone". Each group of three windows at the mezzanine level, or second floor, includes two Corinthian pilasters and is topped by a pointed arch and a frieze with three small shields above.
