A Morning Visiting the Sights

La Jolla





The children's beach
























Unfortunately most of his paintings ranged from $100
to $150.  A little more than we wanted to spend on a souvenir of La Jolla.

The village of La Jolla is dotted with interesting towers.  Most of them belong
to churches that have chosen to build using Spanish architecture.  They are
a beautiful sight when you drive along Prospect.

Point Loma Lighthouse


As you can see the light is obscured by the mist/fog/marine layer even
when the air seems clear and sunny.


New lighthouse on Point Loma


While in operation the lighthouse had the highest elevation of any lighthouse in the United States.[9] However, the location on top of a 400-foot cliff meant that fog and low clouds often obscured the light from the view of ships. On foggy nights the lighthouse keeper would sometimes discharge a shotgun to warn ships away. On March 23, 1891, the flame was permanently extinguished and the light was replaced by the Point Loma Lighthouseat a lower elevation..
