Santa Barbara News, Views, & Hyperlocal Information
Santa Barbara photo of the week by Bill Heller, click to enlarge image.
This evening the fog was thick at the beach. But what looks like a thick overcast evening from one point of view can take on an amazing new light from another. Climbing to the hills of Santa Barbara lets you see the graceful beauty of the mist as it slowly rolls in over the city. – Bill Heller

Surreal and beautiful!
Thanks Bob!
Where was this taken from?
Hey Bill…I see you took the photos of the $1M raffle house…where is it located this year?
Well I could tell you, but then I wouldn’t get to take pictures of next year’s house.
Looks like some crazy movie set. Very Beautiful, slightly spooky, and a dash of mystery.
Thank you!
Spooky huh? The clouds slipping over the peak of the mountain were pretty wild looking too. I’ll have to share some shots of them later.
