Poking around, looking for other stuff, I came across three 1880s? #photos of #Lake #Merritt, and realized that the #photographer - William Letts Oliver, most likely - shot them one at a time, "panning" right, and that they'd make a good #panorama. So I fed them to a photo stitching program. The photos were taken from the Roland G. Brown residence. According to 1879 city directory, Brown lived on Jackson street, apparently on the shore of the lake. If I place my viewpoint at Lakeside & Jackson in google maps 3d view, I see the same hill profile in the skyline.
I believe that's Oakland Avenue, in the distance, at left.

Cormorants returned to the tree where they nest every year, in the Nature Preserve at Lake Merritt Park in Oakland, CA.

Whatever might get their only shelter through this storm. If it doesn't hold up, they're probably hunkered in a doorway for the next week-plus.

Here ya go, David!
#LakeMerritt - gushers coming up from every storm drain manhole. The lake has topped the banks on the south side near Cleveland Cascade. The water fowl are having an excellent day today and brave joggers and walkers were out enjoying the unusual weather.

"Get out of Oakland!" yelled as trans-rights activists snatched at least one of the TERF banners while they were doing a photo op at the #LakeMerritt amphitheater in #Oakland.
