Ceci n'est pas un Lac

Here are two places where I go to find some peace and quietude, inexact nomenclature notwithstanding.

1.



Lake Merritt....not a real lake...








This small Golden-eye is about to swallow whole a large mussel.
Years ago I used to row here quite often
the ecology wasn't as healthy as it is now







Christ the Light Cathedral
with its scared geometry,
A yantra-like hologram of a Gothic Christ









Evening falls early 
on comes the Necklace of Lights
... actually a salt water estuary







2.




Tilden Park






Lake Anza... not a real lake...








twisty old oaks with light reflected off the water







... sort of an ersatz alpine pond

















Lake Merritt: December 2013
Lake Anza: 23 March 2014
