OMG photos!
Time to write is short, and I’m lazy, so not too much is going to be set down in pixels here, just enough to fill in what the photos in the album are showing.
The wonderful night-time shots of the city were taken from Griffith Observatory, in the hills of LA. From that vantage point LA looks like a sea of lights, it stretches as far as the eye can see. I was reminded of Lord of the Rings where the ork camp behind the gate is shown. No eye of Sauron here though.
Shots of the flea market we went to and a school band that was practising for the big game due the next week.
The Getty Villa is here. Built by a rich guy as a copy of a wealthy Roman villa, it also serves as a museum of pieces from Greek and Roman antiquity.
A topiary dinosaur vomiting water.
The Griffith Observatory again, this time the inside.
The shiny ball is a pendulum used to demonstrate the rotation of the earth.
Some dark shots in the carpark! If you look closely, you can see a coyote! The animal was smaller than I thought it would be, like a medium sized dog that looks fox-ish.
Pecan pie!
