You think that Oakland is about the ghettos, gun fights every night, people robbing each other, everyone screaming each other, people driving off the streets, because the news reported Oakland to be the second highest crime rated city in America? Take a look of these photographs taken at Sheffield Village. A small village part of Oakland where the leaves of maple trees and gardens turn red and gold during the fall and luscious green during the spring. Yes people, Oakland can be beautiful if you turn your head the other way. And these photos are close up details of some of nature's special elements.
