Drive from Cambria to Santa Barbara




  Roadside wild flowers.





    Morro Bay, a seaside port, and in the background, Morro Rock a dome shaped volcanic rock, one of a chain of 9 in the area.  It houses nests of peregrine falcons.





    It is still a genuine fishing port.


  




  We stopped for quite a while in the charming town of San Luis Obispo, which is laid out around the mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa, above.   It was founded in 1772, also by Junipero Serra. These teenagers were having a graduation ceremony there.








  The History Centre.




  A small river runs through the middle.





  Love this street art.






  What colours!






   More cute artwork.




  A windmill in the Scandinavian style town of Solvang.  It was established in 1911 by three Danish farmers as a folk school to pass on their Danish traditions to future generations. The town grew around the folk school.  Now it is a tourist town.





   The buildings are built in the Danish tradition.





  A Dane.





  Actually there are lots of windmills.
