So good photos i never see!

[LosAngelesSportsFan]

fantastic set! Gotta love LA.

[Jeffy78]

Love the mountain shots! It's amazing how the city sparkles on smog-free days. L.A. has got some great neighbourhoods. One thing I found surprising was how difficult it was to find an all night eatery in downtown Hollywood after a night of clubbing.

[OhioGuy]

I love the geography of the LA area. Wonderful!

[Trojan in NYC]

I love LA; it has beaches, hills, cliffs, mountains, and deserts, what other metro area has all of that.

[Derek]

^San Diego ;)


nice compilation:)

[Westsidelife]

I love LA; it has beaches, hills, cliffs, mountains, and deserts, what other metro area has all of that.

It also has islands. Can't forget the Channel Islands, which are part of Los Angeles County.

[holladay]

these pics increase my frequently low levels of national pride

[BnaBreaker]

God, the scenery in the LA area is so amazing. If Los Angeles were less spread out and had much better mass transit I would love to live there because it has absolutely all the other elements i'm looking for in a home town. Really great photos.

[anm]

the nature surrounding LA is gorgeous

[DaveofCali]

The islands, of course!

Here are two of the closest ones:

Not quite. Only Santa Catalina and San Clemente (closed to the public) are part of LA County.

Anacapa and San Nicholas (closed to the public) are part of Ventura County.

Santa Barbara, Santa Cruz, San Miguel and Santa Rosa are all part of Santa Barbara County.

[Mary]

LA is great.

Fantastic scenery.

I love the hilly suburbs.

[Grumpy]

Palm trees & snow within the same city .... what a treat !!

[Nicodemo]

The skyline of LA is famous forever.

I love the downtown.

I never understood how San Clemente Island became part of LA County. It is directly off the coast of San Diego, it seems logical that it would be part of SD County.

Plus just to the south of that satellite image posted by Dave are the Coronado Islands of Baja California Norte. They are fairly small but I'm sure they would be visible from that satellite angle.

just give it 70 to 80 years.....

[cactuspunk]

Those are some fantastic pictures. Gotta love LA!!!!

[Mopacs]

Absolutely stunning photos! I especially like this shot above Santa Monica by svanes

http://farm1.static.flickr.com/138/394253913_fbf99d375c_b.jpg

AND this shot Big Bear Lake by Webrarian! Absolutely amazing... I would never have guessed this is anywhere near Los Angeles. Pine trees and all...

^San Diego

True. But SD doesnt get snow. Otherwise it would be perfect.
LA is the most unique place in the world. Love it.

[spoonman]

Yes, Los Angeles gets a lot of snow. Let me get my shovel :lmao:

[vjhe]

Absolutely INCREDIBLE! Los Angeles CANNOT be denied.

[James Bond Agent 007]

Nice, looks like paradise!
