A layered, eye-level photograph capturing a dense residential hillside in Astoria, Oregon. The foreground is dominated by lush, dark-green shrubs, framing a view of two distinct homes: 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 sky, highlighting the city's relationship with its maritime heritage.
