| The grassy goodness of the east bay.
| And up we go.
| The faster group waits by a bend in the road.
I like how all the blue clothing is set off against the sky.
| A panorama looking generally westward toward the bay, as seen from the
aforementioned bluff.

People thought they spotted the face of lion or a baboon or something in
the side of this tree trunk.
But, different people thought they
saw the faces in different places...
| The same trunk again. Maybe the face(s) are easier to spot in this
picture.
If you're so motivated, feel free to download the original picture,
annotate it with where the faces are, and send it back to me. I'll
happily post it here.
| More well-trimmed grass.
| Residential neighborhoods in the shadow of the park, business
districts farther away, and the bay farthest of all.

|
| Bumpy hills.
| There's a few buildings stuck in the middle of the park, accompanied by a
helipad. How odd. If you view the full-sized image, you can see the
(red) helicopter taking off.
| A shaky, 300 degree panorama from the top of the Mission Peak.
| We relax at the top.

| Ditto.
| Ditto.
Isn't it cool how, on a hike, quick, casual shots like these can have
such dazzling, unplanned backgrounds?
| The same picture a few seconds later.
| Yet another relaxation shot with an expansive backdrop.

|
|
| Me, seemingly standing where the ground drops away.
| Windswept me, closer-up.
| To contrast with the first shot in this set: by the time we returned to
the base of the trail, the sun was higher and therefore the grass and
sky were brighter, more vivid.
