Wonderful simple scene, Preston.
LA Smog: A scene from my youth (60s and first two years of the 70s) when I'd take hikes in the San Gabriels -- up to Echo Mountain, Mt Wilson, etc. Looking over the greater LA area, I would always be surprised by the number of fires happening in the city at any one time.
Driving into LA from the north, it's amazing how noticeable the smog is. The color of the light changes, it gets darker, the air becomes visible - it's kind of creepy. Almost as creepy is that Angelenos and other big-city dwellers accept this as part of life. I feel truly sorry for people who live in Beijing.
But if you look straight up, the sky is blue, so it can't be as bad as in other areas of LA! Denial aint a river...
one i shot this evening, got some snow here in the south today, pulled out the 5x7, 90mm caltar, fp4.

Neither is the LA River:

But the Felix the Cat heads painted on the drain covers along the 'river' around Glendale in the 60's/early 70's were pretty cool. And you can't have an LA cop movie without a car chase in the river...Neither is the LA River
Never a truer statement. I can't count the number of jobs I've done down in the "river" or on the 4th st. bridge.
Of course there is this, which I never tire of watching.
