Natural Beauty Abounds: Santa Cruz Co. Photos Of The Week

SANTA CRUZ COUNTY, CA – A sunset, a double rainbow and stormy skies -- beautiful images and reminders that sometimes we need to stop, take a breath and admire the landscape that surrounds us.

The Capitola sunset was captured in early November by Mikaela Martorella, who also shot the pre-storm view of Capitola village in late October.

The morning double-rainbow was photographed in late October by ‎Marie Martorella.

Thanks to Marie and Mikaela for sharing!

If you have an awesome photo of nature, breath-taking scenery, kids caught being kids, a pet doing something funny or something unusual you happen to catch with your camera, we’d love to feature it on Patch.

We’re looking for high-resolution images that reflect the beauty that is Northern California, and that show off your unique talents.Post it for free in our bulletin board section on the site or email it to autumn.johnson@patch.com.
