East Brother Light Station
One of two islands in the San Francisco Bay. This still functioning U.S. Government facility has been saved by volunteer efforts and by being used as a non-profit B & B. The neighboring island, the other Brother, is not touched and is the refuge of seals,cormorants, gulls and other birds.

Couldn't resist the artistic challenge in this gulls position.
The Western Gull, though common, is fun to photograph.
This Western Gull seemed interested in my taking its picture.
The Mallards were just floating all around the island.

This handmade stained glass window was donated and adorns the dining room.
