Where can you find spectacular vistas of the San Francisco and Oakland skylines, see shipping traffic passing by, watch the giant freight cranes in action, and have no trouble finding a parking spot? At Middle Harbor Shoreline Park in Oakland, that's where.
Last Sunday we braved the freezing temps and took a short drive to a park we had never visited before. We were pleasantly surprised to find such a clean, well designed park so close to home. It has plenty of parking, clean restrooms, fabulous picnic areas, vista towers, a fishing pier, walking trails, a beach, and a small museum...and as yet, no graffiti! A big front was moving in, so the sky was very dramatic and the winds were howling; perhaps that's why we were the only ones there! Come take a look and enjoy...

You found so much lovely stuff out there by the water. The cranes, dolphins and water was so lovingly displayed by you.
Such a beautiful park, and what a lucky day, no one else there! It would be amazing to see all those cranes and humongous boats in person. I wonder if my sister has ever been to this park... I'll have to forward your post to her. :)
Beautiful skies, Linnea. Looks like a great place to walk. I particularly enjoyed the silhouette yacht against the almost monotone water and sky, and the beautiful rainbow colours immediately below it.
