This is a pretty mediocre shot of the parking lot where we parked to look at the view from the Berkeley area. The view itself was splendid. You can see SF, Oakland, the whole bay area, Marin county etc.
Berkeley was a great contrast to Stanford. While Stanford is new, spacious and modern, Berkeley is old, stylish and cramped. Berkeley also has a hippy athmosphere to it - a huge contrast to posh Palo Alto across the bay. Our tour was brief and mostly consisted of driving around and seeing the buildings on campus.
Our next stop was Oakland where we saw the train (this was close to the loofs and condos), some newly developed loof neighborhoods close to the Bay and some leafy neighborhoods while leaving the city...as well as a standard US-type downtown.
We then drove south and across the San Mateo 'bridge' - actually more like a flat road in the see (Bay). We were excited about seeing Stanford, Palo Alto, San Jose and Silicon Valley, but mostly it was simply a suburban yawn.
talk more here....road and rest area...walking street...could not find business school....companies in Silicon valley...san jose development and shopping center type thing...view from Berkeley and jogging.....traffic towards the bay bridge...

The actions were a part of Step it Up 2007!, the largest national day of action to stop global warming in U.S. history.
Entrance to the Pit
The Berkeley Pit is a former open pit copper mine located in Butte, Montana, USA, about a mile and a half wide and about 1,780 feet deep. It contains about 900 feet of water that is heavily acidic, with a pH level of 2.5, and laden with heavy metals and dangerous chemicals such as arsenic, cadmium, zinc, and sulfuric acid.
The mine was opened in 1955 and operated by the Anaconda Mining Company and later by the Atlantic Richfield Company (ARCO), until its closure in 1982. When the pit was closed, the water pumps at the bottom were removed, and groundwater sourced from the surrounding aquifers soon filled the pit to the natural groundwater level.
This has presented an environmental problem in that the water, with dissolved oxygen, allows pyrite and sulfide minerals in the ore and wall rocks to decay, releasing acid. The acidic water in the pit can carry a heavy load of dissolved heavy metals. The water contains so much dissolved metal (up to 187 ppm Cu) that "mining" of the water is actually done.
In the 1990s plans were devised for solving the groundwater problem. The Berkeley Pit has since become one of the largest Superfund sites.
