Sunset Wharf Walk
The clouds in the distance are actually our "Marine Layer" (fog) that rolls in to the beach in the evening. It was a good night for a walk on the Wharf.

Santa Barbara Sunset at the Wharf
This image reminds me of visiting Santa Barbara, about nine years ago, on vacation with my best friend. When we first got here she told me that she had to warn me that I probably was not going to want to leave. She was right! But Santa Barbara was not the only thing I got attached to. Now that we live here, my best friend has also become my wife!

It was a beautiful evening.

Stearns Twilight
Tonight we took a walk on Stearns Wharf. It was hot and we were hoping to cool off. Of course, we were not the only ones with that idea. It was pretty crowded, but it was a nice walk and a beautiful evening.

Santa Barbara Beach Panorama
(click to see a bigger version)
Ok I got a new toy! This is actually seven images
stitched together in a panorama by a cool little
tool named PTGui.
Actually it is quite powerful. I am a bit fanatical
about image quality and size. I usually work with
16 bit originals from my scanner and the this
tool can work with them which is rare.
To truly appreciate this image you have to realize
the full resolution version is over 500 megabytes
and could easily be printed almost nine feet wide.

Stearns Sunset
Fall has finally arrived. Last week still felt like summer. During the summer there is not usually enough moisture in the air to make an interesting sunset so I always enjoy this time of year.

Old Sea Center
Just went to the new Sea Center recently, it is very cool.
This one burned down but they had been planning on remodeling anyway.
If you are ever in the Santa Barbara area this is a great place
to learn about the Ocean, especially if you bring kids!
This shot was taken the same evening as this one.

Stearns Sunset
Ahhh, the end of summer. I don't have to go to school tomorrow, but I can't believe it's over already.

East Beach Sunset
This is looking back at East beach from Stearns Wharf in Santa Barbara. I like the single glowing cloud. It really makes the sky a lot more interesting.

Sunset Reflection
This was taken from East Beach in Santa Barbara. The strings of lights are Christmas decorations on Stearns Wharf.

Stearns Wharf Dolphin Fountain
I like the fact that this exposure was long enough to get the red, green and amber lights on the traffic signal. The people were waiting for an evening tour bus so they were there long enough to be visible in the photo.

Stearns Wharf
This is another of my favorite local spots, Stearns Wharf. The Wharf actually has a section that branches off and points back to shore. That is why it looks like this is not connected to the shore. This was taken near sunset which gave it a nice evening feel that I really like. This print has been in several shows.

Pelican Peak
"You ate my fish!! I can smell it on your breath!!"
Pelicans are pretty comical, they are as fun to watch as they are to photograph.
