Alameda Naval Air Station





One of my favorite places in the East Bay is Alameda, and the Naval Air Station is especially remarkable. The World War II military base has been decommissioned for over a decade and has a wonderful vacant, air of decay about it. There are a series of massive old hangers that appear to be empty, although some have mysterious company names on them. All with stunning views across the bay to the skyline of San Francisco. It's a great place to take photographs. 

The old aircraft carrier pictured above is the USS Hornet, now a museum.

What lovely photos. I really like how the yellow of the building and the shiny black of your new Smart go together.
