| The city of Capitola just south of Santa Cruz is California's
oldest seaside resort. Although we have only about 40 minutes to drive there
we missed this nice small town for about three years now. We now know what
we missed all that time. Capitola is a very special place which even more
impresses us than Santa Cruz. |
| |
| Close to the nice not so touristy pier we found the "Venetian
Courts". This is a place we like to photograph. Although it has nothing
really in common with Venice, Italy it is kind of the "Burano"
of the Pacific and the original Burano is an island near Venice. Even if
the some of the colors are off if you would see it by itself the whole setting
is very unique and beautiful. |

| Although most of the photos here are showing the "Venetian
Courts" there is a lot more to Capitola. Unfortunately because of its
beauty it gets pretty crowded at weekends. |
