This photo is hot! Share it!

This area is what is known as "The End of Grant". It's a recreational shoreline trail along the bay, and there's a lot of wide-open, marshy land here. When we were in high school, this used to be where kids would come to hang out and drink and smoke at night (but not me, of course!:)). From the beer can sitting on the bench, it looks like that still may be the case! Nowadays, I like to come out here to walk around and take pictures. It's really peaceful and beautiful.
