ABC Wednesday F is for Fountain

It is still hard for me to believe that I took this image at Union Station downtown. You can find this fountain in the courtyard adjacent to the main hall. To see other ABC Wednesday participants click here.

koi pond

Here is another fountain at Union Station. A close look reveals a swimming koi fish. It's hard to imagine that a peaceful place exists amidst all the hustle and bustle of the train station.

union station fountain

Hurried travelers rushing through Union Station and may never see this fountain. I only recently discovered it in the courtyard just adjacent to the main hall. Flowing water reminds me to slow down, take time, and enjoy the present moment.

union station mural

This mural at Union Station reminds me of one of LA's greatest attributes: its diversity. People from all corners of the globe call this city home. The diversity makes the city vibrant, interesting, and ever-changing. Just like the energy you find in a train station.

instant rain

Who said it never rains in Los Angeles? As I waited for a bus on the east-side of Union Station, I noticed this film crew. The scene they were shooting over and over was of a taxi arriving and the actor getting into the cab out of the rain. If anyone knows what tv show or movie this is for, please share!
