| Alviso is a small, distinct community in the northern end of San Jose. I sketched where the Guadalupe River and Coyote Creek converge into the Alviso and Mud Sloughs out into the SF Bay. |
 |
| Historically, Alviso was the boating and shipping port of San Jose. Steamboats travelled between Alviso and San Francisco. Now elevated pathways with gated doors cross the sloughs for hikers and birdwatchers. |
 |
| Fishermen visit the sloughs as well. (I got sketchier at the end of the day!) |
Wow you can see the effects of the drought-this brown already? Lovely work.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kate. I suspect that there might be several factors that are at play here-the silting up of the slough, development affecting drainage and ground water, the immediate drought, and climate change. I'll do more research before I go back.
