Santa Barbara Pier View
This pic shows the town of Santa Barbara spread up the foothills of the Santa Ynez Mountains that rise to a height of 4,864 feet.
Carpinteria Seal Sanctuary Overlook
This overlook is a few miles south of Santa Barbara and provides great views of large numbers of harbor seals from within the Carpinteria Bluffs Nature Preserve (via one mile round trip trail). In my pic it looks like a few of them are actually posing for the camera!
