Hard ride out at Alviso trails this afternoon. The levys go out into the bay are much farther from land than the trails that run through Shoreline park. The wind makes riding difficult at best and challenging to say the least. It's a great workout - almost as hard as doing hills. The sun was at the perfect angle and there were Pelicans and large grey birds - Great Blue Heron? One was a baby still with the soft floppy feathers they have atop their crest before they get all slick and grown up.
The Pencam doesn't do it all justice - but the Lomo shots won't be back for awhile. There are docks and boat landings but the area is dry. All the water lost and diverted for the salt flats at the bottom of the bay. This is a very beautiful, sad and eerie place.
Note to self - go out with the Canon D30 digital or a 35mm and some good lenses. This spot is ripe for shooting.
