Warrior Point Lighthouse (built 1889) situated on Sauvie Island along the Columbia River to warn incoming ships of a bedrock reef that juts out from Sauvie Island into the Columbia River. As many as 2000 large cargo ships pass by this small lighthouse into Portland, Oregon each year.
with all the wildfires in Oregon & a large, human caused fire (juvenile with fireworks) in the Columbia River Gorge, the skies are heavy with ash raining down.
Wildfires in Oregon are generating falling ash in Portland and a smokey veil across the sky. This image of the moon last night shows a subtle sepia quality to the image. Hours earlier the moon was quite bright, but by early morning when this image was taken the sky was seemingly cloudy with smoke and ash falling.
