from above

a lot of how l.a. gets portrayed comes from the west side of town.  this is only natural as most of the portrait-makers (movie, tv, music, etc) with national and international reach are from there.  a common theme is that you need to have a car to get around; and if you're a creative type whose daily improvisations are the lifeblood of your work, i can see how that might be the case.  but for us boring 9to5ers, well, you see for yourself.

i was in the above crowd, waiting.  i noticed the outcropping and took these pictures because it turned out to be a fun vantage point.

iphones aren't real good with things beyond 20ft or so, but you get the idea.
