twilight - not the movie

Downtown LA at twilight, what could be more beautiful? I captured this serene image while standing on the metro platform amongst rush-hour travelers waiting for a train.

The red spots of color really caught my eye. The spots appear to be Chinese-style lanterns hanging in a Mexican-style gazebo! Yet another reason to love Los Angeles.

LA's Finest

Have you ever had four horses staring at you? If only they could talk! Here is LA's finest. I leave it to you to decide if I mean the police or the horses!

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.

ABC Wednesday B is for Billboard

Wouldn't you like to have a big clean slate on which to write or paint? It looks like our artist is checking his cellphone for inspiration!

summer city

Are recent rainy days making you long for summer? Well here's an image of downtown during last August. We do love our summers here in LA, even when they come with a side order of smog! Three cheers for the rain cleaning the air today!

Watts Tower Arts Center

The Watts Towers were built over a span of years by Italian immigrant Simon Rodia. Although the towers are interesting, I was drawn to the sculpture which seems to calmly keep watch day and night.
