The long view -- we're on East Anacapa looking west.  The first Island is actually West Anacapa.  The Island behind that is Santa Cruz.  The buildings in the foreground (the only ones on the Island -- include the Ranger's house on the right, the maintenance building/ visitor center, and in the back the water tower -- now covered by a building to disuade people from shooting at it from passing boats.
