Clear Days

Santa Barbara is having a really poor winter for surf, the worst I’ve ever seen. But the weather has been nice so last week (sorry, film) I went up onto the ridge and took some shots with my pano camera. It was so clear you could see most of the Channel Islands perfectly-Santa Barbara, Anacapa, Santa Cruz, Santa Rosa, San Miguel and Santa Catalina as well as San Nicolas (which is rarely seen from the mainland) (San Clemente was hidden behind Catalina).
