A large off-white derelict structure squats on broken ground; it has three rows of dark vertical window frames cut into the facade; there are no actual windows themselves any more. There's some graffiti on the building facade. The sky is a nice pastel blue.
Ghost Town. The derelict naval hospital next to the Estuary in Alameda opposite the Inner Harbor. Burnt down a month or two after I took this photo (2008).

The industrial foreshores of both Oakland and Alameda are lit up by the sunset and reflected in the Oakland Estuary. In the distance, Mt Tamalpais.
An Estuary sunset (2016?).

A large grain elevator / silo complex is lit up by the sunrise and reflected in the still waters of Oakland Estuary; in the background, Downtown Oakland; to the left, Coast Guard Island and a brace of USCG cutters.

A large industrial plant, with three tall central smoke stacks or chimneys in a row and a bunch of other plant infrastructure, stands next to the Oakland Estuary.
Another one of the recycling plant, March 2003, this time from the Alameda shoreline, showing its proximity to the Estuary.

A yellowish vertical-lift Warren through truss railroad moveable bridge with one end tower in Oakland, the other in Alameda, looms up over a narrower part of Oakland Estuary. In the background, the recycling plant.
The Fruitvale Bridge spanning Oakland Estuary between Oakland and Alameda, 2003. (Quoting Wikipedia) "The Fruitvale Bridge is a vertical-lift Warren through truss moveable railroad bridge"; it's very much a part of Jingletown's skyline.

A vessel of some sort – the Ensenada, BC (Baja California, presumably) — lists abandoned nest to a very broken much smaller vessel on the Alameda side of Oakland Estuary. In the background, Coast Guard Island with a brace of very white cutters, and downtown Oakland off to the right.
MV Ensenada (BC), Oakland Estuary, February 2003. Coast Guard Island in the background with several cutters moored there, and downtown Oakland in the right background.

A large green and yellow inflatable frog with a white sheet advertising sale prices on its chest looms up behind a low-slung windowless yellow Estuary-side building — Tiki Tom's — next to an old green bascule drawbridge on the shores of Oakland Estuary. It's early morning.
Sunrise, Tiki Tom's, Jingletown, Oakland (2015?). Right next to the Park Street Bridge (the green structure on the right), it burned down in suspicious circumstances some time after I took this photo.

A largeblack and red barge, showing a lot of signs of wear, and with the name Lucky Logger painted on its bows, is moored on Oakland Estuary at the ConAgra pier. In the background you can see Downtown Oakland under a stormy sky.
Barge Lucky Logger moored at Jingletown's ConAgra silos, February 2003.

A gaggle of barge-mounted mobile floating cranes is moored at the docks at the foot of Livingston Street, Oakland, in the Oakland Estuary at Greater Jingletown. The very still water reflects the cranes and the cloudy sky.
Another view of the forest of cranes at Livingston Street pier, Oakland Estuary, late 2002.

A lone sculler rows past the ConAgra grain elevator and silos on Oakland Estuary in Jingletown. The still water reflects the sculler and the elevator; the light is subdued — it's an early spring early morning.
The sculler — early morning, Oakland Estuary, 2008.

An old truss and girder rail drawbridge stands over and is mirrored in Oakland Estuary. To the far left is the recycling factory; on the right, the island of Alameda.

A small old white merchant vessel with a blue funnel is moored at the Ninth Street pier on a very reflective Oakland Estuary. The sky is post-rain grey.
The Estuary and the old MV Golden Bear, up towards Ninth Street, 2002. The Golden Bear was supposed to become The Artship, but that fell through; I don't know what happened to it after that.

A smooth body of water reflects a set of semi-industrial structures — a railway drawbridge, a recycling plant, some large old tin sheds — and in the distance loom the Oakland hills. In the foreground, a cluster of small boats is moored to a buoy.
Looking southeast from Park Street Bridge, 2002 — the (now long-gone) old tin sheds to the left, the Fruitvale Bridges in the middle distance, the recycling plant wedged (visually) between the two, and Alameda on the right.

A mass of light and heavy industry splayed out on the banks of Oakland Estuary: in the foreground, a small barge moored at the Cemex cement plant; behind the Cemex plant, the Redy-Mix concrete plant; in the center, the boat place; next to and behind it, the ConAgra grain silos looming up large. And in the far distance, Coast Guard Island and a handful of large USCG cutters.
The edge of the Estuary… some Jingletown landmarks, including the Cemex and Redy-Mix concrete plants, the boat yard, the ConAgra silos, and the Coast Guard HQ as seen from Park Street Bridge (2002).

A well-worn looking urban grain elevator rises up on the banks of Oakland Estuary against a cloudy winter's sunset sky. The elevator's silos are mirrored in the still Estuary water. There are a small handful of boats moored on both sides of the Estuary.
Sunset… another shot of the ConAgra grain elevator from around 2002, this time from across the Estuary in Alameda.

Three large nearly-derelict metal-clad sheds sit on the banks of Oakland Estuary near Park Street Bridge; they're reflected in the water below. They have bright metallic facades and dark roofs. There are a handful of small boats on a floating dock in front of the nearest shed.
Jingletown's old tin sheds on the banks of Oakland Estuary, 2002(ish). These were torn down for the inevitable cheap-looking condos soon after; the artists and craftspeople, etc., who lived in the sheds were booted out (of course).

Several large or largeish working barges and waterborne cranes are mirrored in the still sunrise water at the Dutra yard in the Oakland Estuary. The overall tone is brownish and metallic blue.

A tall spindly old railway drawbridge looms up over the flat waters of Oakland Estuary; in the background the sky is a sort of post-dawn muted orange and grey, with a prominent white steam or smoke cloud rising up from an industrial chimney further towards the distance. In the far distance, the low-slung Oakland Hills (and Oakland Coliseum, if you know what to look for). The surface of the Estuary reflects the colours of the sky.
Early morning light, the Fruitvale Bridges, from Park Street Bridge, Oakland Estuary, California (2009?).

A small white scull glides across a smooth green early-morning version of Oakland Estuary in California as the solitary rower rests on his oars. He's wearing a bright red vest or jacket.
In repose… (scull gliding under Park Street Bridge on the Oakland Estuary a few years ago).

A derelict old tug lists a little while nestled in amongst some working cranes and barges under an orange sunset on the Oakland Estuary.
An Alameda Sunset.
Sunset on the Oakland Estuary… tug Respect (aka the ATSF tug Edward J Engel) a short time before she sank, and a whole lot more besides, from near Park Street Bridge (2007).
