Welcome to

The following is a text description of the background video on this page.
The video is a silent, 21-second aerial drone montage of Oakland on a bright, clear day.
0:00–0:04 — Close aerial view of Oakland’s water tower. The large white spherical tank, displaying the word “Oakland” in black cursive lettering, stands above a residential neighborhood lined with trees, single-family homes, and quiet streets.
0:05–0:07 — Aerial shot of a neighborhood pond with a small fountain spraying water at its center. Homes with manicured lawns line the shoreline, and a walking path follows the water’s edge.
0:08–0:11 — A small, traditional white church with a peaked roof and steeple. The church is surrounded by a tidy lawn, sidewalks, and a paved parking lot. A roadway and small commercial buildings sit just beyond the church grounds.
0:12 — Wide aerial shot of Oakland’s main commercial corridor. A four-lane road runs through an intersection lined with businesses, with light traffic moving in both directions.
0:13–0:16 — Drone view over a golf course. Green fairways, sand bunkers, and cart paths stretch across the landscape, with a clubhouse, event tent, and parking lot in the foreground.
0:17–0:19 — A golfer mid-swing on a fairway. A golf cart is parked on the nearby path, and homes line the edge of the course in the distance.
0:20–0:21 — High overhead view of a community lake with a fountain at the water’s surface, surrounded by neighborhood streets, homes, and a small park area.
