Aerial view of agricultural fields in Monterey County. Some of these fields are covered with plastic to keep moisture in and weeds out. The plastic reflects the sky to some extent, creating unusual colors that one wouldn't normally expect from crops.

Aerial view of the Lower Bobs skatepark at the west end of 9th St. in the Lower Bottoms neighborhood of Oakland, California.

This skatepark was built without permits or permission, with numerous warnings to stop construction. It was designed by skaters, and a labor of love to those who built it.

Written in chalk below the Lower Bobs sign on the fence it says "Bring Beer or Beat It!"
