Today's photo shows a couple at Dana Point in 1927. I initially thought this might be real estate agents R. F. & Anna Walters Walker, who built the gazebo (seen behind them) to complement their Blue Lantern Fountain Lunch & Service Station. But "these ain't them."
In any case, its a great photo from the early days of Dana Point's development. The gazebo still provides a beautiful view of the harbor and is now part of Ken Sampson Overlook Park. (Special thanks to Don Dobmeier for use of the photo.)
