Return to Indian Rock






The Flaneur here provides a mainly visual tour of his recent hike to the old beloved spot. For a written description of the location, see the earlier post, "An Outing at Indian Rock" (April 2011).






To get there I walk up the hill backward
 North Berkeley, Shattuck avenue
A marvelous tunnel on the right







This fountain adorned with jolly bears
Spreads cheerful feeling






Sidewalks abound with tumultuous flowering plants







Ya heard?





Philosophical stairway on Indian Rock







Eschatological warning system
When the sea gets this high it will notify the neighbors






Looking back toward Berkeley, 
distant Oakland





The money shot, not to be vulgar
The land out in the Bay before the bridge
is the Berkeley Marina





Very precipitous rocks, 
Only little kids and athletes climb here






Sweet old cat I met up top--my doppelganger
He digs hiking and the Mass, yoga and ganja too





Yoga babe






That's a lot of sky and sunshine
time to head down the ramp






All the way to the North Berkeley library
My first visit here, nice spot to get out of the sun
