Lake Merritt, Oakland, Necklace of Lights encircling Lake Merritt. Featuring 126 lampposts and 3,400 "pearly bulbs", the necklace was first lit in 1925. In 1941, the lights were dimmed to comply with World War II blackout conditions. After a decade-long campaign, the lights were again illuminated in 1985. During Oakland's annual gay pride celebration, the city replaces the white bulbs with multicolored bulbs. photo and caption by TulipFleur on flickr Lake Merritt Oakland, Pride Celebration, London Square, Vision Quest, California Destinations, Grand Lake, Oakland California, Exotic Places, East Bay
