These digital photographs were taken by the webmaster while on a walking loop around the outside of the property.  You can click on each inline image to display a 4 megapixel maximum resolution version.

Does anybody know the story behind this small cross adjacent to the Wintersburg Channel between Graham and the knoll?  When I was out walking on New Year's Day, somebody had placed fresh flowers here.  There are some dried flower remains to the right of the cross in this picture.

Looking southwest down the Wintersburg Channel.  The knoll is visible beyond the bushes adjacent to the channel.

The knoll adjacent to the Slater Pump Station bridge is the highest part of the property.  This view is looking northeast towards Graham.

Looking northwest from the knoll.  You can see the roofs of the houses in the Sandover development along the left side of the hill in the hi-res picture.

Looking northwest at what I believe is the county/city boundary line.  The left side of the fence is County of Orange; the right side is City of Huntington Beach.  Shea alternatives 6 & 7 will built a few homes on the county portion, but alternatives 8 & 9 keep all houses on just the city portion.

The Slater Pump Station intake area where the Slater Channel intersects the Wintersburg Channel.  This is where the Parkside urban runoff will be directed.

The BIG picture, taken subsequently on March 3, 2002.  This is a 180-degree composite panorama shot, so the "two" channels you see are really just the one Wintersburg Channel.
