Mission Christmas Trees
Merry Christmas!
Some of the Christmas decorations at the Mission Santa Barbara.
They don't usually do a lot in a flashy way, but I like the
Christmas trees. They put them up really early too so
you have lots of time to enjoy them!

Courthouse Glow
Sometimes its nice to take a closer look
at something beautiful. This is a gateway
into the Santa Barbara Courthouse. The
building as a whole is amazing, but as
I am so fond of pointing out I really like
the details. There is some incredible
craftsmanship there that I don't think
you would find very easily today. Perhaps
the only thing that will make me stop
sounding like my grandfather now (WHYYYY, IN MY DAY... !) is
to point out that it was probably pretty
rare to EVER find this kind of creativity!
(Unless of course, it was actually one of my perfectionist
German grandfathers doing it! :-D At least I come
by it honestly!)
