Lightrail coming real soon. Can't wait


















Exposition Park
















Santa Monica






























Elysian Park

More of the coast

Thanks for taking a look. Hope you enjoyed L.A.

GORGEOUS!

• Loved the victorian homes, something one associates a lot more with SF than LA

• Nice to see USC get some coverage since UCLA seems to be the center point for college photography in LA

• That view from the coast (Palos Verde?) to DT LA and the San Gabriels beyond: fantastic!11

• Doesn't Malibu literally scream "MEDITERANEAN"????

Fantastic pictures, pwright1!

Thanks for sharing. I like specially the pictures of Santa Monica, Malibu and the coast. Good job! I´m wishing to return there.

Congrats and greetings from Madrid, Spain!

you did a fantastic job, just gorgeous pics but, then again, you have a very photogenic subject. Coastal Southern California, what can you say?

Very nice - St. James Park looks like my kind of neighborhood.

We haven't had a winter in L. A. this year. Looks like we're not going to, either.

Another great one pw. Im still amazed with how much clearer the air is in LA than it was twenty years ago. I remember as a kid just being amazed by the brown ring on the horizon. I agree the shot from PV is outstanding....
