Storm arriving ...

 

What does this photo show? Planes coming in for landing from the north, which means the wind's from the south, which means the expected storm is starting to blow in.

Red-tailed hawk. Circling. Circling.

 

 

Full moon tomorrow ...

 

Ferry. Fog.

Sunshiney here. Slight breeze.

'twixt me and Yerba Buena Island, though? A belt of fog.

 

 

Tugs helping APL container ship into port this AM.

 

The engine(s) don't seem to be working. Tugs are guiding the ship into the Port of Oakland.

More clouds from yesterday

 

New cranes

 

New cranes showed up in our vista a few days back.

We can only see a bit of what is happening on the eastern span. I'm assuming these new cranes are needed to lift the roadbeds into place for the temporary span that will be used while the permanent span is built, but ? who knows?

Is this the crane we're seeing?

Photos earlier today

We have another visitor down at P29 -- not as big a ship as the cruise ship earlier this week. This is the Golden Bear, belonging to the California Maritime Academy in Vallejo.

 

(For Don's benefit, note the fog covering Treasure Island and Berkeley beyond ...)

A lovely sight -- watching the fog ebb and flow across Treasure Island and Yerba Buena.

 

 

And then ebb. Flow. Back again.

It's dark out now and we don't see the fog. We only see the lights on the islands get blotted out and then come back into view. Yerba Buena is almost clear now.

For a while. ...

(n.b. The planes from SFO are taking off to the north. Our short flurry of rains is over for the nonce.)
