Solvang

  1. Vinhus of Solvang

    For the first time I'm nearly out of photos to post on my blog. Usually I can go on photography adventures on the weekends which will provide me with enough photos to last me the whole week. I can't shoot during the week since I work full time and don't get off until it's dark. This weekend I wasn't able to go out since I wasn't feeling good and let a friend borrow my camera. It's going to be an interesting week. I'm thinking I might post some of my iPhone pictures and start a category for that since I have a ton of great ones from my travels this last year. I do have a few more photos of Solvang I can post though.

    This one is of Vinhus. This is how most of this town looks. A small Danish town just outside of Santa Barbara. A pretty amazing place to visit that looks nothing like anything else in Southern California. It's like a way to escape the country without actually leaving. The weather still feels like California in the summer though. It was 100 degrees outside when I was there. Brutal.

  2. Solvang Windmills

    Outside of Santa Barbara there is a small town by the name of Solvang which is a Danish town. A lot of the architecture has these windmills built into them to sort of give it that Danish theme. It's a very cool little place to hang out for a day and get some amazing breakfast.

  3. Tower Pizza of The Danish Town Solvang

    A couple miles out of Santa Barbara California is a small little Danish town called Solvang. It feels as though Vikings built it one hundred years ago or something. Actually they probably did, I haven't done my research on the place yet.

    All the little gifts shops and restaurants are Danish themed, even the architecture. I bought myself a little Viking Troll refrigerator magnet as a symbol to my Norwegian heritage. My name is Alik after all. I think it means protector of mankind. I've yet to protect anything really though. At least not yet. 

    This photo is if a pizza place called Tower Pizza. Now, if your going to name your pizza place Tower Pizza there better be a tower involved somehow. Well done Tower Pizza of Solvang.
