Santa Cruz Lighthouses at Sunset

Sunsets in Santa Cruz can be amazing, especially when the Walton Lighthouse (foreground) and Santa Cruz Lighthouse are bathed in the evening light. Lots of people enjoyed this sunset, including surfers silhouetted on the cliff at Steamer's Lane.

Sunrise over Monterey Bay

With the sun hidden behind clouds, and a mist over Monterey Bay, the sky took on many colors about a half hour after sunrise.

Natural Bridges at Sunrise

I love the intensity of this sunrise over Natural Bridges State Beach, and the birds dotting the rocks make it more fun to look at.

Another beautiful sunrise in Capitola. I took this under the Capitola Wharf while the waves gently rolled onto the beach.
