I Love L. A.

To me, photography is an art of observation. It's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place... I've found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them. -- Elliott Erwitt

Great urban landscape shot. I love the contrast between the older, East LA, and the modern skyline. It tells you loads about this vibrant city.

I like Elliot Erwitt's quote. It echos my sentiments. And - I do love this vision of LA...especially the distant high rises in the early morning fog and light.

I love LA too ! Been there in 1978 (makes a long time) but LA is unforgettable ! Nice panorama.

it seems like a world away from the frigid northeast... I like the effect of the haze over the skyscrapers.

Avery unique and remarkable capture of the City of Angels. I agree with your title and truly look forward to any chance I get to be in 'The Southland' regions, in and around LA. Having said this - and with no disrespect; I am a San Francisco Giants fan and we're approaching that magic time when catchers and pitchers report. Hence, I must report that, "L.A. Sucks!"

Suzanne, this is one of my favorites! I love the color and how the haze gives perspective to the background city skyline - great quote also from Elliott Erwitt! Have a wonderful weekend!

Looking over the Boyle Heights area and into Downtown if I'm not mistaken. Always nice to get a good shot from this angle. And the contrast is good, as others have commented. (I work in one the buildings pictured, so I know that's not fog, but I won't ruin it for all the out of town viewers.)
