New Whale Overlook at Hendry's in Santa Barbara

When I lived in Santa Barbara from 2005 - 2009, I served on the Board of Santa Barbara Beautiful; a local non-profit doing the good work of tree-planting, landscaping, education and art in public locations. We had a long-running project that just never seemed to get the correct amount of assistance or funding and was still incomplete when I left for Singapore in mid-2009.

Looking for birds at the creekmouth, I found that the Overlook is done. And well-done, too! Located at Hendry's Beach, now a Santa Barbara County park, Arroyo Burro Beachthe overlook sits behind the Boathouse Restaurant.

This is the top landing, about 25' above the beach.

Right away you notice the elaborate arrangement of hand-set stones.

The view from the top is quite grand, although no whales, darnitall. The Boathouse Restaurant is on the extreme left.
 
The handrail mimicks the waves - in my opinion. I can no longer recall the name of the artist and will post when I can sort it out.

You can see the meticulous detail with individual attention to each mounting bracket to support the handrail among the surreal placement of stones.

The steps to the top - with a very wavy handrail.
 
Good work Santa Barbara Beautiful, I must say it was worth the wait.

메이저 토토사이트 선택 이제 어려워하지 않아도 됩니다.
안전놀이터를 찾는 것이 날이 갈수록 어려워지고 있습니다. 수도 없이 많은 베팅 업체들이 생겨나고 있기 때문입니다. 해외의 유명 스포츠베팅 사이트인 피나클,BET365,스보벳 등은 합법적인 운영체로 먹튀에 대한 제재가 없지만 한국에서 즐길 수 있는 스포츠베팅은 이러한 곳을 이용하기가 쉽지 않기 때문에 베트맨토토와 같은 공식 스포츠베팅 업체를 이용하지 않고 대부분 사설업체를 이용하고 있습니다. 그 이유는 배당이 너무 낮기 때문입니다. 또한 이벤트도 사설업체에 비해서 적은 것이 현실입니다. 하지만 토토시그널에서는 검증에 심혈을 기울이며 단 한번의 먹튀이력이 있는 업체는 추천하지 않고 있습니다. 이제 토토시그널에서 안전한 스포츠토토를 이용하세요 메이저사이트
