Went sailing to Angel Island in SF Bay. This was taken from inside one of the many abandoned buildings. It was kind of a rushed visit or I would have taken more time framing pictures and taking more pictures. Hope to go back just for that.

Throughout its history the island has been used by the military, immigrant processing, and health quarantine. Now it’s largely a place for hiking, biking, and camping with many of the historical buildings still standing.

Cool shot and story,

Thanks. More to come from the visit but I'll keep it to the 1 post per day spirit.

Post as much as you want, not sure if that was some old rule or what but this isn't MR with a ton of users posting so nobody cares.

Alright.

Remaining former military base installment overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge. I don’t know if it was for a cannon, gun, or missile. In different points in history it could have been any of those. I thought this type thing only existed in Europe, or at least not in my relative backyard.

When I was a wee lad (or ever so slightly larger than wee, I had my pride), we would go to Fort Stevens park near the mouth of the Columbia and play around on a site called The Battery Russell, an old defensive installation. I also remember going on the beach and having lunch in the shadow of the wreck of the Peter Iredale – there was a picture my dad took in the fifties when the bowsprit was still intact.

Took a ride down the coast, south of Carmel by the Sea, after my cousin's wedding, before I flew out. Didn't make it very far as the wildfires were across the highway and I didn't want to push my luck. . May 2008.

More Coquitlam River Park goodness (I actually took this pic so I can use the location metadata to find the closest parking lot to that beach on the other side)
