SUMMER SCENES: A mosaic of California

Editor’s Note: This gallery is part of a summer series from The Cavalier Daily photo desk staff. Over the course of the summer, photo staffers will craft galleries which capture moments from different places in Charlottesville and beyond.

From crashing waves along the Pacific Coast Highway to quiet pastures dotted with cattle, this collection captures the rich diversity of California's terrain. Together, these landscapes form a mosaic of California's extraordinary natural beauty.
