Depending on which way you depart out of Oakland, what time of day it is and what side of the plane I am on, I get a variety of things that I can get a shot of. On this day I got to see downtown Oakland and the light on the city was pretty nice. The view across to Lake Merritt and the heart of downtown (including the building I work in) was pretty good. Here is a quick sample of what I saw that day including the run across the bay towards Treasure Island.
