It's Always Sunny in Los Angeles

Ho. Ly. Shit.

This is the best LA thread I've ever seen. I'm obsessed with LA currently, and after viewing this my lust has increased ever more.

I'm simply blown away...amazing pictures thank you!

Fantastic photos! For me personally, it's probably one of my favorite LA threads I've seen on here. It's scenes like these that pull me in and make me want to pack up and move there!

Your apartment has some great K-Town views man! (and I suppose that answers your question, Mojeda). Love the deco, dessert, and cinematic aspect ratio. Good stuff!

Thanks for all the positive feedback everyone! You're inspiring me to get out there and take more shots.

Illithid Dude is right- that pic as well as a few of the others is taken from my apartment bldg in Koreatown - on the rooftop specifically.

Well done, Chris! Your photography has really improved. I am thrilled to see you making such progress. We have to meet up the next time I'm in town - such a shame that we couldn't last time around!

Spectacular views and shots, DistrictDirt!

I´ve liked every picture. Some views are really amazing. Thanks a lot for this sensational thread. I like L.A. very much.

I hope to see more L.A´s shots soon.

Congrats and greetings from Madrid, Spain!

Thanks Devan, that means a lot!

Let me know next time you're in town for sure...it would be great to catch up.

Wonderful. L.A. is the Western world's ultimate post-war metropolis.

Ah much as I loved to hate it, I want to move back already. Captured the spirit.

The streets and sidewalks of the Historic Core are so immaculately clean these days. Downtown has come a long way.

Great set. My favorites are the ones from Runyon... particularly the one with the guy holding the umbrella.

And yes, we are a colorful city (in more ways than one)!

Really great shots! Good to see that the future Ace Hotel is moving forward! The United Artists Theater and building looks so amazing from the outside, I'm excited to see the day when we can actually go inside.

Loved the thread, congrats on the fine lady if the girl with the small dog is with you. You found some excellent angles on the non downtown skylines
