King Edward Apartments, Oakland
This is not the largest but one of the most splendid apartment buildings in the North Oakland apartment district. It is a curious trapezoidal shape, crammed into a lot that is not quite rectangular and using up every inch of it.
There are some stitching errors in this very large composite photograph, and old Pa Pitt is too lazy to fix them.

Green Tree Water Tower
This enormous tower is a favorite visual landmark for small-plane pilots. It’s visible from miles away on the ground, too, depending on where you may happen to be, and it’s the most distinctive feature of the otherwise rather generic suburban borough of Green Tree.
The borough seems to have decided on spelling the name “Green Tree” as two words, but it is pronounced as one word, and the main street of the borough is still spelled “Greentree Road.”
Camera: Canon PowerShot A590 (hacked).
