Hey,
Thanks for posting these pictures! I am spending summer working in Santa Barbara and I am looking forward to visiting the Channel Islands. I wondered how Avalon looks like and your wide angle shot shows it's waterfront pretty well.
Anyways, great site, real helpfull for somebody planning their stay in California.
