Briones Overlook Staging Area - 1/15/2017 (EBMUD Park) - Orinda, CA

I went up to a East Bay MUD Park at Briones Overlook Staging Area in Orinda, CA on January 15th, 2017 to take photos of Briones Reservoir and other scenery. If you have been watching the news lately, you'll know the San Francisco Bay Area has been hit with several mega storms recently. I wanted to see the effects of the mega storms on the reservoir. In this blog post, I will share with you the photos I took. I hope you enjoy viewing these photos. I also shot vlog on this trip, you can view it here.
