Santa Cruz Beach Camera – Volleyball Courts Across from the volleyball courts at the Santa Cruz Harbor’s beach, this nest feed is another from Dig Santa Cruz volleyball courts. There are some really neat wave sets going on right now because of El Nino, with occasional 12-14′ waves. It is a fun day to check […]
Broadcast live streaming video on Ustream Seaotters.com has a rediculiously cool camera up, watching the otters that live year round at the mouth of the Elkhorn Slough.

Artistic ability: nature or nurture? For local painter F.J. Anderson, it’s a combination of both. “I was lucky to have some art genes in me,” offers Anderson, who grew up watching his older brother and grandmother create art. However, he’s quick to acknowledge the early influence of some strong art teachers, as well as a […]
Resin inspired waves, fins and oceanscapes make Vince Broglio’s work some of the most appropriate for a community like Santa Cruz. It is fun to think that this artwork may have started as a happy accident, and it could also be fun to think of it as a very specific mission to master resin. In […]
