Shot on 8mm film in 1937, this vintage home movie captures a bustling artificial lake in Oakland, California, teeming with ducks and geese. The birds gather along the concrete edge and swim in the water, some bathing under a small fountain. A large open-sided pavilion stands in the background, and the entire scene is bathed in a distinct purple-blue tint, characteristic of early color film. The footage shows natural movement and subtle camera shake, offering a nostalgic glimpse into mid-20th century park life.
