Today we go further north — from Portland to Astoria in Oregon. I found these murals in the seaside town of Astoria in (northwestern) Oregon. Astoria, which lies at the intersection of the Pacific Ocean and the Columbia river has many stories to tell: of Native Americans, shipwrecks and trade. Now lets have a close look at these Astoria murals:

I love the colours of the mural on the second photo. Beautiful!
Soft and pretty, aren't they? 🙂
Thank you for stopping by, Marleen.
The broad mural captures the grandeur of this area. Thanks for contributing to this week's Monday Mural.
Grand it was.
You're welcome. Once again, Thank you for hosting. 🙂
Nice pics
🙂
Hi Jaish. 🙂
Did I read Ship wrecks ? Well that makes me look out for more stories about these murals…( may be a treasure or two also 🙂
Wait till you see my next post for Monday Mural. 😉
The Columbia River estuary is said to have been rough on many a ship that came in from the Pacific Ocean. At some point, it was even called Graveyard of the Pacific.
Very interesting murals!
🙂
Thank you for stopping by.
A visual history lesson.
Murals also seem to talk history, don't they? Now if only they had longer lives.
Another beautiful work. Are you on a mural hunt, Nambiare? 🙂
I'm still on the ones I 'came across' 😉
I'll be going a-hunting soon, I guess. 🙂
Always love watching the colours and artistically created murals! Thanks for these interesting captures, Divya 🙂
There is a lot of great art out on the streets these days, right?
Thank YOU Arti. 🙂
Wow… your murals are so diverse, distinct and intriguing. Another lovely find. 🙂
My eyes seem to catch these colours very easily, and they nudge my digital eye…;)
Beautiful
🙂
Very beautiful art-work…not sure who is behind that!
Aren't they?
I'm not sure who did the first one. That one is so pretty, is it not?
These murals certainly brighten up the environment!
They do! 🙂
So pretty!
Aren't they? 🙂
Nice art work.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for coming by, Swati.:)
Very brilliantly captured, Divya. Your beautiful pics aroused my interest in mural.
Nice to know that — really.
Thank you for visiting, Ravish. 🙂
One more reason to be there. Beautiful artwork. There is one beautiful mural and artwork place in Miami, can't recall the name. It's amazing, expensive but amazing.
Wait till you see the one in the next post 😉
It's a mural on a light-house like structure. 🙂
Oh yeah? I wish I could see pics. Let me look it up.
Thank you, Saru. 🙂
