Evening Vista Radiance: Santa Cruz Co. Photo Of The Week

SANTA CRUZ COUNTY, CA – Patch reader Audra Allen captured the evening glow of Santa Cruz while strolling West Cliff Drive.

"I love that there happened to be a paddle boarder in the water while taking this photo, so it captured not only the well known Coconut Grove landscape of Santa Cruz, but it also captured the human aspect of one of the many ocean sports that represents a huge cultural part of the city," she wrote.

Thanks for sharing, Audra!

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.
