Salt Pond R5 - a photo on Flickriver

Salt Pond R5

            Bayfront Park is Menlo Park’s former garbage dump. Like other former dumps around the Bay, it forms a peninsula into the former wetlands. It is an interesting park in that it is adjacent to former salt ponds (R4 & R5). This gives the public and KAPpers alike close access to a colorful, high salinity salt pond landscape. I have photographed Bayfront Park on several occasions and notice that the sparse vegetation on the plateaus of the dormant salt ponds seems to be a bit more established with each visit. I take this to be a good sign.

This late Spring session found the R5 pond surface quite dry with deep-red water filling the old marsh channels. This was a quick session as the day was getting late.

I am taking these documentary photographs under a Special Use Permit from the Don Edwards National Wildlife Refuge. Kite flying is prohibited over the Don Edwards National Wildlife Refuge without a Special Use Permit.
