skate park, santa barbara

marlene, my brother frank's wife, and dario and dela, their two kids, and i walked a couple miles down to the beach where we stopped at the santa barbara skate park. it was teeming with mostly adolescent boys, a few older guys (who were the most skilled) and one girl. it's a beauitful skate park just from an aesthetic point of view, with sensual carved forms of smoothly finished concrete edged with steel. most of the skateboarders adopt a cool and concentrated disposition not unlike the deeply religious.
