Skywatch Friday: shoreline grass

Today was a typical summer day in Oakland.  The fog burned off by late morning, the sun shined in a cloudless sky for most of the day, and then the fog returned before sunset.  The shoreline grass along the estuary has turned a wonderful golden color, which seems that much richer against the blue sky.  The sunlight made the water sparkle.  In short, it was a beautiful day.  For views of other skies around the world, visit Skywatch Friday.

    This is a very nice late summer photo. It looks like a "no cares" moment. Enjoy your weekend. On the right coast we are hosting a very impolite visitor, Ms. Irene.

    This shoreline looks like something Andrew Wyeth would paint!

    Great photo, hard to believe that the grasses are golden, meaning fall is just around the corner.
