D97: The Cathedral of Christ the Light.

The Cathedral of Christ the Light is the Roman Catholic Diocese of Oakland, California. It is the first Cathedral built in the 21st century to replace the Cathedral Saint Frances de Sales which was irreparably damaged in the Lomo Preita earthquake.  I must say the interior of this church is magnificent. I plan to go back and shoot  more of the interior when there are less people..

D96: Lake Merritt

Took a stroll around  the lake this afternoon.  The weather was gorgeous.  Just right for an afternoon stroll.  A seagull was flying  just above the frame. I waited till he flew into view then snap the shutter.  Picture perfect.!  He almost looks like a hawk.
