Santa Barbara County Courthouse
After some of the comments on my piece on the Mission Santa Barbara, I thought one of the other sites in Santa Barbara would make for a nice follow up post.

There is a tall clock tower right by the main entrance which includes an observation deck that affords a magnificent view of the City of Santa Barbara and even the islands off shore.

Looking southwest beyond the city you can see the Pacific and Santa Cruz Island in the distance on the left.
