San Francisco Bay, photo by Harold Davis.

This photo is a view of the San Francisco Bay from the Albany Waterfront Trail.

What a weird place the Albany Waterfront Trail is! About a ten minute drive from here, it is on a spit of land that extends into the Bay. Until 1984, it was the municipal dump for the city of Albany, California – once again proving that we don’t tend to understand the wonderful things around us. (Why a dump in this wonderful Bay of all places?)

Today, this a park with left-over detritus from the dumping years, “shrines” made by various artists, and glorious views.
