What you're looking at here is the roof over the land-end of the pier at China Camp. That smokestack is connected to a boiler, used in the drying process of Bay Shrimp.

A fine fence, indeed... I can see an Asian influence -- can you?
Tomato plants are starting to grow on the other side of the fence.

Looks like China Camp's last remaining resident, Frank Quan, found some nice boards to bring home. Yep, that's where he has lived his entire life, except for a stint in the Army during WW2.

It's a quiet place with beautiful sunrises**. Only one problem -- the Bay Shrimp have all but vanished. But joggers jog, mountain bikers bike, picnickers picnic, and photographers snap. A very peaceful place...
**Sunrises?
I've shown quite a few photos of China Camp here in AphotoAday over the past couple years -- here's a link that will bring up all the posts:

It's hard for me to imagine living in the same place my entire life, but not a bad place for it!
This place looks so quiet and serene. I love that fence whith all its character.
Very cool. I didn't know there was someone living there - let alone for his whole life.
