weird colored land in Redwood City, CA

Found this on Google Maps.

What are these things? Reservoirs with different colors of algae?

Also, zoom in at the top of the where the blue and red rectangles meet... it looks like a bunch of the blue stuff spilled onto some railroad tracks there.

What the shit am I looking at, WATMM?

looks like a desalination plant and yeah, algae

there is stuff like this in fremont and union city near where i used to live. It could be some sort of salt flats or protected enclosed marsh land?

I think the blue on the tracks is due to how they take the pictures. They're actually all blue when you zoom out farther. Not really sure what those are, though. I could drive down and check it out but I'm too lazy.

It's probably that the zoomed-in photos were taken when the blue crap began to spill and then a few days later the entire tracks were covered and that's when the satellite took the zoomed-out photos.

i clicked street view and found weird coloured bricks

Those are shingles, bro.

Maybe when Europe evolves past using corrugated metal for everything you'd eventually recognize them.
