Nature and art by bike




 


 
I had a fantastic Saturday in the sunshine! I rode my bike along the beautiful Pacific coast, observed pelicans, visited Santa Cruz Surfing Museum in a lighthouse (surfing was imported from Hawaii to California, but serious shark accidents have happened) and spontaneously went to some exhibitions at "Open Studios" organized by the culture counsil of Santa Cruz county. I just followed some signs from the coast to the houses of local artists who were showing their paintings and photographs in their living rooms and gardens, offered snacks and drinks and talked to the visitors. Many pictures showed the Californian landscape. I recognized the coast of Santa Cruz and Tuolumne Meadows in Yosemite. When I bought a print of one picture and told the artist that I would take it to Germany, she thanked me, saying that now she would be allowed to consider herself an international artist since one of her paintings will be shown in Germany :-)
