The bullfighting stadium in Playa Tijuana, Mexico. Just to the north of it is the US border fence which stretches across the beach into the ocean.

Re the boats: That must be this one:
(from http://www.sdwaterfront.com/knowledge.shtml)
The platform to the west of the boats appears to be the National City Marine Terminal, “a primary port of entry for Honda, Acura, Volkswagen, Isuzu, Mitsubishi Fuso, and Hino Motors vehicles.” (from here)
Also tucked in amidst all that industrial area is Bayside Park, in the center of the channel to the south.
And east of the vehicle storage just on the other side of the train tracks are three rusted circles; these are the remains of three SD Port Authority fuel tanks that were demolished, sparking some local controversy.

Look to the north… The grass really is greener on the other side.
The capes of Bullfighters are red. Why? I have some ideas, but does anyone of you know for sure? Can you cite a verifiable source?
