I met with Art of Wedding 64 at his office away from the office today – the Jefferson Campus of Brooks Institute – my old stomping grounds.
This image was taken from the edge of the parking lot over a 6 foot chain link fence. Which, by the way, is way taller than I am. Fortunately, there is an area that is fallen over from erosion of the hillside below, and I was able to stand on a curb to get the image.

scenic overlook of the Santa Barbara Harbor and downtown
Great view isn’t it? Sad that that is what we had to look at while we were in classes!
The Jefferson Campus of Brooks Institute used to be an elementary school – back in the day. I am not sure exactly when Brooks purchased the building, but it houses the administrative offices for the Santa Barbara campuses, the school library, classrooms and a darkroom in the basement.
It’s a beautiful campus on the APS – Alameda Padre Sierra – the main thoroughfare that runs along the upper foothill of Santa Barbara. It is from this area that Santa Barbara is known as the American Riviera.
Quite beautiful and breathtaking. And it leaves a segue into another photo opportunity – the Jefferson Campus!
