This building stands above the rest of downtown Mountain View. It wasn’t always a nice place to be. After it was built, it was not occupied for many years, and got the name Dog City due to the fact they let dogs live on the first floor to scare away squatters!
An unused control tower, and an unused hangar. Two structures that are out of service, but the contrast between them is quite unique!
My neighborhood has a history of getting into the spirit of Halloween. Some houses even have decorations that take over the entire front yard. I particularly like the No Mercy Cemetery with its spooky skeleton standing guard!
Hangar One is a sight I see every day from my office, but the public is rarely allowed inside. NASA Ames recently had an open house for their 75th anniversary, and one of the best attractions was going inside this old hangar. With the outside shell removed long ago, interesting angles for photography were everywhere.
My only goal driving down Skyline Boulevard was to catch the sunset, but I didn’t have much of a plan. The first trail I stopped at was a winner, I only had a short hike to get this shot.
The path of this trail cuts away the earth, so you can see not only the trees above, but the roots below.
