Weekend Reflection: Lake Merritt at night

This is another night shot of Lake Merritt.  This was taken on Lakeside Drive near Grand Avenue.  The brick building on the left is St. Paul's Episcopal Church.  This photo gives one a greater idea of what the lovely Necklace of Lights, which encircles the lake, looks like.  The Fairyland sign indicates the entrance is just over that hillock.  Generations of Oakland children have loved this special park on the shores of the lake.  This photo is submitted to James' Weekend Reflections.  Visit his meme for more reflections taken world wide.

  6. Love those vertical lines reflected in the water. I used to live in Berkeley in the 1970's and Oakland was a place we kids were afraid to go. It's nice to see your photos, they will help to change my image of the city, I'm sure!
