A walk around two Los Angeles icons.

I didn’t ride the Angels Flight funicular railway, but I did take the subway up to McArthur Park.

Dotted by roads to nowhere, aircraft graveyards, and a dried up waterfall—California City was once envisioned to rival Los Angeles. As schemes continued well into the 21st Century, was it all too good to be true? A podcast inspired me to go have a look.

Under the boardwalk, bird feeding, two beaches, an engagement, and a decent calzone.

Stayed a few days in Venice, CA. 35mm and digital shots from around this wonderful, warm place.

As 2020 ended and 2021 began, I was in California. That’s a longer story for another day, though. In the mean time, for the next few posts over the next few weeks, some photographs made around Los Angeles with a quick detour into the desert.
