The Hanthorn Cannery Foundation is a non-profit organization located in Astoria, Oregon. The foundation was established in 2005 with the aim of preserving and promoting the historical significance of the Hanthorn Cannery and other fishing-related industries in the area.

The Hanthorn Cannery was built in 1875 and was one of the largest fish-processing facilities on the West Coast. It was a major contributor to the economy of Astoria and played a significant role in the development of the fishing industry in the Pacific Northwest.

The Hanthorn Cannery Foundation is dedicated to preserving the history and heritage of the cannery and the fishing industry in the region. The foundation operates a museum, which houses exhibits and artifacts related to the cannery and the fishing industry. Visitors can learn about the history of the cannery and the people who worked there, as well as the various fishing techniques used in the region.

In addition to the museum, the Hanthorn Cannery Foundation also hosts events and educational programs to promote awareness and appreciation of the region's fishing heritage. The foundation is supported by donations and volunteers, and its efforts have helped to ensure that the legacy of the Hanthorn Cannery and the fishing industry in Astoria will be preserved for future generations.

I am using a slow, 1/8&quot; 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 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 &quot;embellished with elaborate cartouches in cast stone&quot;. 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.
