The Long March

Sun Rays

Gone Fishin’

No, I didn’t go fishing myself (although that might make a good excuse for the lack of blog posts recently), but some fishermen and sailboats made for a nice scene on the Oakland estuary early one evening last week:

On my way to work today, I stumbled upon this amusing juxtaposition in Union Point Park:
