That is a very nice cityscape view. Even if it is Oakland. (JOKING! The Oakland part, I mean.)

Great cityscape, Louis!

And thank you for the explanation of "there." I wouldn't have understood, otherwise. I think Carolyn is doing a great job of proving that there is a there, there. :)

I always like the expression, "You can't get there from here."

I don't think there's any place in California I don't like. Well... LA is not top on my list. But it still has nice spots.

Great shot.

Tracy a dit…

We have lots of hazy days like that around here. Have a great weekend.

Francisca a dit…

Interesting city shot... don't think I've ever thought of this part of the state as being hazy... foggy, yes, but not hazy.

This is a metropolis by the looks of it.
Thanks for your visit! The train accident was not in my village but in the north of The Netherlands.

Oakland Daily Photo a dit…

Good shot, «Louis.» You can actually see the Coast Range across the Bay. Did you know that sometimes the Oakland Tribune Tower flies a flag that says THERE.
