Comment:  Being clear of the SFO and OAK airport traffic, Julie was cleared to climb. This picture of the east side of the San Francisco Bay was taken from about 4000'. Berkeley is on the left, Oakland on the right. The new Bay Bridge construction is clearly visible. The spit of land sticking out into the bay to the left of the Bay Bridge is Emeryville. Scott and Tiffany lived in low brown roofed buildings in the middle of the spit when they first moved out to the San Francisco area. The two connected islands in the foreground are Treasure Island on the left and Yerba Buena Island on the right. Treasure Island (man made) been used as an international airport, site of the 1939-40 World's Fair and as a military base. Yerba Buena connects the two sections of the Bay Bridge. Clipper Cove, the water between the islands is named for the airplanes that took off from there before WWII. Also in the foreground, to the right just below Julie's wing, is the Port of Oakland with its container cranes. The large white building at the base of the hills beyond Emeryville is the Claremont Hotel, dating from 1915. To the left of Emeryville, also at the base of the hills is the University of California at Berkeley. Identifying campus features include the tall Campanile tower and the narrow horizontal ellipse that is the top edge of California Memorial Stadium. Left of the campus, between it and the water over Berkeley is a Goodyear Blimp. Dominating the background, about 25 miles away, are the twin peaks of Mt Diablo. The northern peak (on the left) is 3,557' high. The taller southern peak is 3,849'. Mt Diablo is the primary visual landmark used by pilots in the Northern California area. Even when the marine fog layer comes in, it can be seen poking through the clouds providing a sign post for the Sand Francisco area

Image DescriptionThe east side of the San Francisco Bay. Berkeley is on the left, Oakland on the right. Mt Diablo (3,849') is in the background. The new Bay Bridge construction is clearly visible. The spit of land sticking out into the bay to the left of the Bay Bridge is Emeryville, where Scott and Tiffany lived when they first moved out to the San Francisco area. Visible on the far left, over Berkeley is a Goodyear Blimp.
