Santa Cruz Lighthouse in Visitor's Guide.

Image
My photo of the Santa Cruz Lighthouse and Mark Abbot Surfer Museum at the point in Santa Cruz was just pick-up to be included in the Visitor Guide "Let's Cruz" which is their 20th Anniversary issue which will appear on page 12-13 (below) as well as on their online presence reaching around 1 million views. I was in last year's issue, but with a smaller photo. You can see more Santa Cruz photos on my Flickr page: https://www.flickr.com/photos/97777205@N03/sets/72157645351346039/ Skip Kuebel, Photographer skiptown@comcast.net

Tomb of the Unknown Surfer

Image
Here is the Tomb of the unknown surfer. It's on West side drive in Santa Cruz, California. Well, of course it is. This monument in close to the Mark Abbott Memorial Lighthouse and surfing museum. Good view of the Boardwalk from here as well. What caught my eye was the red and purple flowers and the surfer in the background.

Mark Abbott Memorial Lighthouse & Surfer Museum

Image
This photo was chosen by the Santa Cruz Conference and Visitor's Council to appear in their Santa Cruz Magazine. The Mark Abbott Memorial Lighthouse is currently home to the Santa Cruz Surfing Museum. The museum was founded in 1985 by Longboard Union members Dave Dyc and Boots McGhee, who received permission to house the museum in the lighthouse. The museum opened in May of 1986, and is a branch of the Santa Cruz Museum of Natural History. The lighthouse is currently threatened by erosion, which is undermining the point.  To see more from this shoot go to my SmugMug site at: http://skiptown.smugmug.com/Lighthouses/Santa-Cruz-Lighthouses Skip Kuebel, Photographer skiptown@comcast.net
