The monochrome color choices, plus the light vignetting over the reasonably normal cityscape and the impossibly large and long bridge to (seemingly) nowhere imparts some of that Old Stockholm Telephone Exchange energy, a sort of "look at the improbable shit people built in the past, that had to have been photoshopped in, they really live with a bridge that big, just right there?"
They do, the bridge is huge, and I shot that from the Astoria Column about two hours ago.
Thanks for seeing my work!
Sometimes I post my works in /c/pics cause I'm really proud of them and want more people to see them, than just the people who are in /c/photography.
It means a lot to me that you've wanted to come look at my art.

Isn't this the town that Goonies was set in?
Astroria, Operating Room.
Great photo! I was just there for a week, gorgeous town, lots of friendly people.
That bridge is so intimidating to drive over, freaks me out everytime!
Damn girl, this one is a knockout.
I have driven across that bridge many times. The rise up there coming into Astoria always unsettled me. Going down it wasn't so bad, but just lifting out of the water towards the cliffside would get to me. Or it did when I was a kid and I just held that in my memory each subsequent crossing.
That is quite a big bridge! Nicely shot and edited, wonderfully moody picture.
That's an awesome picture.
Is this where one walks the Abyss?
