A layered, eye-level photograph capturing a dense residential hillside in Astoria, Oregon. The view is framed by lush, dark-green shrubs and bushes in the foreground, with a partial view of a wooden railing and steps. Two distinct houses dominate the midground: a pale pink, traditional house and a striking dark green house with a deep blue metal roof. A sliver of the Columbia River and a large cargo ship are visible between the structures, all under a heavy, overcast Pacific Northwest sky, highlighting the city's relationship with its maritime heritage and the river.
