A Morning Visiting the Sights
La Jolla
The children's beach
Unfortunately most of his paintings ranged from $100

The village of La Jolla is dotted with interesting towers. Most of them belong

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..
