The Mark Abbott Memorial Lighthouse in Santa Cruz, California at Sunset. I wasn’t sure which one I liked better. Although I like the angled shot with the flag, the 2nd shot I feel is a simpler and more elegant shot.

Inside of the lighthouse is the Santa Cruz Surfing Museum which traces over 100 years of surfing history as it relates to Santa Cruz. Visitors to the museum enjoy a spectacular view of Santa Cruz and the Monterey Bay while overlooking Steamer Lane, an internationally known surfing site. Museum displays include surf boards ranging from redwood “planks” to modern high-tech designs, early wetsuits, photographs showing Santa Cruz surfers and wave riding from the 1930s through today.
