What is that? It's a photo entry for photofriday

Guess what this is and maybe even where it is. I will post a picture identifying the object once I get a handful of guesses.

A cold front came through Santa Barbara last week. It is interesting around here when there is weather more than the average marine layer or random cloud. The picture about is the Santa Barbara channel. It looks like and artic scene.




Here is a couple guys up Gibralter Pass looking for some powder turns. Not sure if they fould anything, but I bet they have new gouges in their board.



Here is a nice winter scene. There are a few houses in this area. It must be pretty cool to wake up to snow in your yard. Maybe one day it will snow here every winter and they will put in a ski area!

Another beautiful sunset. It's almost the winter solstice. Hard to believe that the days will be getting longer already. This is about as south as the sun gets too. It will start migrating north again and by spring will set around the corner from our view.

Glowing clouds on this side


Arcing rainbow on the other side.
