Date Day: Part Two -- Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk

[gwenzilla]

After our dazzling adventure in Half Moon Bay Saturday, we headed down Highway 1 to Santa Cruz. We did not stop in Pescadero for artichoke anything, and we did not stop at Pigeon Point to look for whales, and we did not stop to watch the kite surfers -- we just wanted to get to the beach.

The light and coloring in the shot of the gondolas is really evocative of such boardwalks for me. I'm happy to know that there's one relatively near by her on the wrong coast.
