Oakland

Just pictures I took today. I take tons of pictures, pretty much every day of my life.<br /><br />This one is the trail that runs in front of my hotel along the water. I went for a walk here today. It looks a lot prettier in the picture than it did in person. The water is terribly polluted, full of garbage. Plastic bags, potato chip bags, even condoms were floating in the water. The grossest thing I've ever seen. Of course I'm only four miles from the airport, always a notoriously bad area of any city.<br /><br /><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvQBPcduBDSKZSw5KjyxbW5IogzTNiS7opwD0AVmQmHpqqcM2XD45_vh4Bf5t9AKRs37CNQ02SjNi7lVEUBWP1ImrsMd5HCsoO5bqd-Fqo0TPGe2we9ck4ZREYXctH90RXMsQ-Aj7u5Mf7/s1600-h/walking+trail.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5410470133692463890" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvQBPcduBDSKZSw5KjyxbW5IogzTNiS7opwD0AVmQmHpqqcM2XD45_vh4Bf5t9AKRs37CNQ02SjNi7lVEUBWP1ImrsMd5HCsoO5bqd-Fqo0TPGe2we9ck4ZREYXctH90RXMsQ-Aj7u5Mf7/s400/walking+trail.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" /></a> </p><p></p><p>This was a picture I took from inside the Oakland Airport terminal.
