I attended a workshop on Data Poor Fisheries in Berkeley, and so was stuck in a hotel for three days. I am starting to dislike travel in winter for work, because by the time you're done for the day, it's dark already and it's hard to explore new surroundings when the sun has already gone down. We weren't in Berkeley proper either, but on a little penninsula sticking out into San Francisco Bay and not really within walking distance of anything. During break on the second day, I was determined to get outside for a least a few minutes and walked along the nearby marina. A lot of people had put in planters, places to sit, and impromptu art among the rocks along the marina embankment.

I love finding unexpected stuff like this...
This one had a tractor seat and a little tiled firepit...
...And even a window!
