India Basin
India Basin
Here are pics from Sunday's visit to India Basin Open Space.
View from the shoreline of downtown San Francisco, and Yerba Buena Island.
A cormorant takes off from the water.
The cottonwoods are turning golden.
Looking over the flat-as-a-pancake Bay toward Pier 96.
Pickleweed glows in the low afternoon sun.
Maritime sunburst lichen (Xanthoria parietina).
Looking east across the unusually flat Bay. The white cranes at the Port of Oakland can just be made out between the two ships riding at anchor.
A least sandpiper perches on the rocks, scanning the mudflats for insects and other small invertebrates to eat.
