Looking southeast from the heights of Mare Island towards Carquinez Strait Bridge. We weren't supposed to drive up here, but Sally relied on her 'disabled' status (because of her knee surgery last year) to get past all that.
An Amtrak train zooming eastward along the water of Carquinez Strait on its trip from Emeryville to Martinez.
Vallejo in the distance, as seen from the flower garden.
A big vessel heads west into San Pablo Bay (the northern portion of San Francisco Bay) from under the Carquinez Strait Bridge.
Odd sculpture? Alien sacrifice? Cargo cult?
Radio tower.
Looking west, past the tidal marshlands, across San Pablo Bay, into the haze, which obscures the hills of Marin beyond. Interestingly, the haze blended with the sky, so when the western-bound vessel entered the haze, it appeared to be suspended in the air above the water (which I found disconcerting).
Naval base in foreground; City of Vallejo beyond.
Boat.
