Photo Tour from Ventura to Scorpion Ranch, Santa Cruz Island, Channel Islands National Park, Santa Barbara County, California
Including Some Uses of Local Stone
The following photographs were taken on January 13, 2011, during a field trip at the 2011 International Stonework Symposium, held by the Stone Foundation. Our trip began early in the morning with the sunrise. We all met to travel to the island on the National Park Service boat. Wikipedia includes an article on “Santa Cruz Island” if you’d like to learn more about the island and its history. Peggy B. Perazzo
