Luis -----Mensaje original----- De: lug-bounces+luisripoll=telefonica.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+luisripoll=telefonica.net@leica-users.org] En nombre de Richard Enviado el: domingo, 03 de junio de 2007 13:53 Para: lug@leica-users.org Asunto: [Leica] IMG: Bay Area Wild Within a few miles of Google, Yahoo!, Sun, and even the iconic NASA Hangar One airship structure, lies some of the vestige of wild abundance in the Silicon Valley. The Bay Area Marsh land were turned into salt ponds and landfills as the area was developed, driving a few species into near extinction. Fortunately, a number of the salt ponds have been returned and hopefully will become wild life refuge again. This is the first set of pictures from the Don Edward Wildlife Refuge. More to come. Plus a ghost town in the heart of the Silicon Valley? Coming soon, also pictures of Drawbridge. A no man's land then where the authority dared not enter, and a no man's land now as it slowly sinking into the bay. Just across from the bay, within sights of the power towers, the Dumbarton bridge, is the start of the trail: http://www.dragonsgate.net/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=9087 The slough and marshes are connected by wooden bridges: http://www.dragonsgate.net/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=9088 http://www.dragonsgate.net/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=9089 The lighting on this picture is exquisite, unfortunately not easily shown on a small web pic: http://www.dragonsgate.net/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=9090 http://www.dragonsgate.net/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=9091 // richard (This email is for mailing lists.
