Images taken at Albany Bulb -- of public art on display in the open-air "gallery." The Albany Bulb is an artificial peninsula, created from years of dumping construction refuse into this part of the Bay.

When the dumping stopped, nature took over. The area now thrives as habitat for seabirds and other wildlife.

Albany Bulb has been at the center of controversy for years -- with some groups in favor of making Albany Bulb part of Eastshore State Park, and others intent on preserving the Bulb as it is.

For now, the park remains a stunning mix of natural elements and overgrown industrial refuse. Public art installations flourish throughout, many created by a Berkeley art collective known as SNIFF.
