San Marcos Pass Descent Into Santa Barbara

This morning I road with my boss to work at there Gem Faire event this Friday through Sunday in Santa Barbara, CA. We took Highway 154 over San Marcos Pass and descended into Santa Barbara with rapturous views of the Santa Barbara Channel and the Channel Islands. Below is what I was able to capture as we traversed the windy road down into Santa Barbara.
Note the Santa Barbara Channel and Anacapa Island at left and Santa Cruz Island at right.
Goleta, CA, is at right and the Santa Barbara Airport at far right.
Highway 154
From the looks of this terrain and vegetation one can easily see why it is so fire prone.
Santa Barbara Airport runway visible at center.
The sunlight intensity here seemed atypical for this time of year.
Note Santa Rosa and San Miguel Islands in the distance.
