Photo of a pepper tree transplanted from Peru and located in the officer housing area at Mare Island in Vallejo. Had a great coffee at The Quarters too.

Headed for Mare Island last weekend for some sunrise photography, only to find murky skies and fog. No complaints - that's awesome too. #aerial #mareisland #sunrise #industrial #beautifuldecay

Dry dock on Mare Island with twin cranes. No easy way to get this shot - had to stand up on the tall foot of another crane, then hold the camera out at arms length over a chain link fence and shoot semi-blind.

Day 1 at Maker Faire Bay Area was glowing! ✨ Check out this time-lapse of our giant Lite Brites installation lighting up the floor and sparking creativity.

Ivy bells Pilsner by the Mare Island Brewing Company. Excellent brew, 31 IBU's 5.1% and drinks nicely. Add to the the name that ANY student of the Cold War should recognize. In this case the Tap was a pod #coldwar #ivybells #CIA #NSA #USN #beer #mareislandbrewing #Mareisland #submarine
