A view of San Francisco as seen from across the Bay, on Grizzly Peak Blvd high in the Berkeley Hills, on the southeastern edge of Tilden Park.

The photo was taken in mid afternoon on Sunday July 30, 2006.

A wide angle lens view of San Francisco Bay as seen from Grizzly Peak Blvd high in the Berkeley Hills. The Golden Gate Bridge appears slightly to the right of the center on the horizon line. Distant San Francisco is showing through the summer haze on the left side of the picture’s center. The photo was made in mid afternoon on Sunday July 30, 2006. Three friends and I were on a mission to pick up a van load of free horse manure compost (for my back yard garden). The offer was made by the Grizzly Peak Stables near beautiful Tilden Park.

If anyone is interested in horse manure compost for their garden or flower beds, here's the info.

Free Manure Compost

We have a large pile of fully composted horse manure to help your garden
grow. The manure is free and can be picked up anytime.

The manure is at Grizzly Peak Stables at 271 Lomas Cantadas in Orinda.
Take Fish Ranch Road (from Hwy 24) or Claremont Avenue (from Berkeley)
to Grizzly Peak Blvd, and go North on Grizzly. Take the first right,
at the entrance to the Steam Trains and Tilden Park Corporation Yard,
and continue on Lomas Cantadas until you pass the stables on a long
downhill. Just below the trailers, around a sharp downhill curve, the
entrance to the manure pile is on your right. Take as much as you can
and tell your gardening friends.

Bring shovels, pails, bags, wheelbarrows and any tools you may need.

Check for mud in the winter before driving in. If you would like a
large amount, several truck loads, call 925-254-8283 to arrange to
have a tractor load it for you.
