View southwest across Highway 24 toward the PG&E Claremont Substation near Lake Temescal. The tree-covered slope beyond the electrical power station is on the west side of the Hayward Fault rift valley incised by Temescal Creek. Downtown Oakland is in the distance. The tree-covered ridge is a shutter ridge ("shutting in" and diverting Temescal Creek). Lake Temescal is to the right of this view taken from Tunnel Road, north of Highway 24. The neighborhood of Buena Vista is built on the shutter ridge west of the Hayward Fault rift valley. |
