The town of Goleta, coined as "Goleta the Good Land" as there used to be many farms. Painted from a photo I took back in 70's, here is "vintage" Goleta back in the day before all the city growth. Over yonder is Santa Barbara in the distance.
This lovely meadow is at the Santa Barbara Botanical Gardens. Sitting under an oak tree this was my view.
At Goleta beach, I enjoyed capturing the reflection in the sky, the slough and the land before me in all their rich colors.
Another fine example of the Spanish Colonial Revival architecture that you will see throughout Santa Barbara. Here is the rotunda suite at the Four Seasons Biltmore in Montecito, California.
Walking down Butterfly Beach Lane, Montecito, here is the view looking towards Santa Barbara.
This charming and unique landmark of Goleta's past is an elegant representation of the Spanish colonial revival architecture that makes Santa Barbara so recognizable.
The lovely Mission of Santa Barbara with its bubbling fountain in the foreground.
