San Diego, California: A Photographic Portrait

Description

Brett Shoaf captures the neighborhoods and natural beauty of this remarkable city with 150 evocative images in this stunning photographic portrait. Founded in 1769 as a Spanish colonial settlement, San Diego has evolved into a sophisticated city that is reaping the rewards of an ambitious downtown revitalization. The beach communities of San Diego are legendary with names that evoke the history and romance of this magical landscape: picturesque Del Mar with its famous racetrack; affluent La Jolla with boutiques that rival Beverly Hills Rodeo Drive; Encinitas with its passionate surfer culture; and Carlsbad with its flower fields and Victorian houses
