Artist's Description
In 1788, while in search of the Columbia River, English Captain John Meares missed the passage over the river bar and named the nearby headland Cape Disappointment for his failure in finding the river. In 1792, American Captain Robert Gray successfully crossed the river bar and named the river "Columbia" after his ship, the Columbia Rediviva. Only a few years later, in 1805, the Lewis and Clark Expedition arrived at Cape Disappointment.
The Cape Disappointment Lighthouse was constructed in 1856 to warn seamen of the treacherous river bar known by then as "the graveyard of the Pacific." This is the oldest functioning lighthouse on the West Coast.
In 1862, Cape Disappointment was armed with smoothbore cannons to protect the mouth of the Columbia River from enemies. The installation was expanded to become Fort Canby in 1875. The fort was named after General Edward Canby, who was killed in the Modoc Indian War. The fort continued to be improved until the end of World War...
About Ken Stanback
As a photographer and artist, I like exploring the interesting visual world around me. The images you see here are about nature, beauty and the magical relationship between the camera lens and the human imagination. It's my desire to reflect and express the harmony found in natural textures and man-made structures. My greatest pleasure comes from working with the creative canvas that nature offers. The use of digital camera equipment to capture images and using innovative editing software, I am able to create and offer some unique works of Art. Come and enjoy this journey with me. Thanks for viewing and I hope your selection will be treasured.
