After scouting out a couple of other locations my friend Alex and I headed to Wilder Ranch to check it out too.
The houses were closed for the day, but there were still a few barns open and some farm animals were still out in the pastures and paddocks. This scene I shot through a window in barn that housed old horse drawn carriages, lumber, and machinery that is used on farms.

For the Historians-
The park covers approximately 7,000 acres, with 34 miles of hiking, biking and equestrian trails winding through coastal terraces and valleys. Several buildings once belonging to the Wilder family have been restored. You can explore the history of early ranchers and farmers along the Central Coast through tours and living history demonstrations. The site was originally the main rancho supplying Santa Cruz Mission, and later became a successful and innovative dairy ranch. The grounds include Victorian homes, barns, shops, gardens, and a historic adobe. Major wetlands restoration projects have attracted some of the original flora and fauna back to the area.
