Can you identify where these rocks are found?

ALAMEDA, CA — Claus Weisemann's daily dog walk gives him time to ruminate on life. He snapped this photo, and writes, "A rocky beach in Sicily? A lonely island off the coast of Thailand? Nope, just a dog walk to Ballena Island. The air was clean again and and the water of the Bay was a little bluer and a little choppier than usual. Maybe we can travel to these far away places again, but for now we need to find the beauty close to home."

And it truly is beautiful here. Thank you for sharing, Claus!
