Salt ponds

There is a former landfill which has been converted to a park near work; the methane from the landfill is captured and used for energy. The park is also houses a water treatment plant - in conjunction with the bay and the salt ponds it can be an assault on the olfactory sense.

I love the park and love to watch it change through seasons. We've moved beyond the golden grass of June; the salt ponds are ready for dredging.

Here are a few photos I took from a hike on Thursday; link from Flickr as the photos came out too large when I uploaded them directly to LJ.

In a few pictures you can see SF off in the distance.
