I am delighted that I can now post some contemporary photographs. The conditions of my permits for South Bay kite aerial photography include a hiatus each year from the end of February to the start of September to avoid disturbing nesting birds. Thus, I eagerly await the start of fall and with it the chance to do some fieldwork.
On this occasion, I made a Saturday trip to the Eden Landing Ecological Reserve (ELER) near Hayward, California. I launched the kite from the west end of Salt Pond E13 and walked its northern perimeter to the Oliver Salt Works ruins. After hanging out at the new observation platform there, I then walked the levee separating E13 from E12. When I first started photographing at ELER this area was a dusty plain, the disused remnants of a former salt operation. Several years ago, as part of ELER’s Phase I Project, the restoration managers built a series of new levees and flow control structures so that the area could be tuned to serve as wildlife habitat. The levees created small sub-ponds, which have slightly different salinities and thus different colors.
After making my way down the levee to the pumphouse at the eastern end of the ponds, I paused to swap kites. The Sutton 30 I was using became painfully overpowered as the afternoon breeze freshened. Up went the Sutton 16, which was much more pleasant to handle and had ample lifting capacity. I then retraced my steps back up the levee and around Oliver Salt while shooting from a lower altitude. Altogether it was a pleasant day.
I am taking these documentary photographs under a Special Use Permit from the California Department of Fish & Wildlife. Kite flying is prohibited over the Eden Landing Ecological Reserve without a Special Use Permit.

The crazy porthole windows from the outside. I found them totally fascinating! Such an odd shape - an architect's whimsy? Or do they have a proper function?

The control panel for the heater. The upper right says it's on automatic, the numbers under that ("5:36") are the time, and the bottom says P1 which indicates the strength, and 28 which indicates the temperature (in celsius).
