CALIFORNIA! summer or fall?

GRIFFITH PARK observitory- the park burned recently, but this historic structure showed no damage. Downtown Los Angeles in the back- planes and helicopters above. GOTHAM?
Unfortunately, just the city so far.
Los Angeles, CA is one of the largest cities in the US. The "BIG ORANGE" smothers over 500 sq mi, and is home to almost 18M people!! Fortunately, places like griffith park and the many beaches offer a nice escape to anyone who can reach them-
The amount of people, the traffic, the pollution; it seems enough to overwhelm anyone! (Below) Los Angeles metro, looking south from Griffith park.The moving, busy, sparkling lights seem infinate! Make no mistake- thephoto wastakenwell after sunset and any light here is generated by the city...
90 degrees Friday!!! Spent it on Venice beach which was far busier than I have ever seen it! Fisherman, surfers, tourists, beach bums and oodles of homeless. Was on the sand long enough to watch a swimsuit wash ashore- THANKS AUNT LAURA for a good visit!
