Tomorrow I fly out to Washington, D.C., to start my new life back in school. This time I suspect it will be more work than music school was. To celebrate, I have but one more photo gallery to share with everyone, this from a recent excursion to Astoria and Fort Stevens, both or which, I must say, were pretty boring and not particularly beautiful. I can't recommend going there. But the Wreck of the Peter Iredale was a fun photo subject. In its presence it looked like trash someone didn't bother cleaning up and decided to call "historical" to avoid responsibility for picking up after it. I wanted to capture its insignificance and smallness in comparison to the water, sky, and sand around it. A lot of photos I've seen of it online make it look big and bizarre, but I thought it was puny and funny in a pathetic sort of way. Anyway, enjoy the photos, and I'll be writing next time from the nation's capitol!

| Waded into the cold Pacific Ocean for shots like this. Totally worth it. |
 |
| This is a more standard composition of the wreck. Looks bigger than it really is, right? |
 |
| This is a little closer to what it actually looked like. |
 |
| There were a number of rusted posts like this just under water, and probably others I didn't see. Seems a little dangerous considering all the little kids playing around, but what do I know? |
 |
| This is probably my favorite shot of the day. |
