View north from the Hollywood & Highland shopping complex

A historic movie theater directly across the street from the equally historic Chinese theater, the El Capitan is owned by Disney. It's so historic, in fact, that you'll pay $13.00 for the privilege of watching a movie there.

3037 Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles, CA. The sign lettering is very reminiscent of the old Tiny Naylor's restaurants.

540 S. Commonwealth Avenue, at 6th street. Home of the largest pipe organ in the world.

Sherman Oaks, California. Ventura Boulevard at Cedros, looking east.

Old Trapper’s Lodge
Woodland Hills, California

Lonesome George sits near the entrance of Cleveland Park at Los Angeles Pierce College in Woodland Hills, California. If you think he looks creepy in this shot, just imagine him sitting there on that bench in the dead of night, still staring his glassy stare into the darkness. George is a part of the Old Trapper's Lodge installation which inhabits the park.

03/06/2001 - La Salsa Restaurant - 22800 Pacific Coast Highway, Malibu, California

You'll have to forgive me for not labelling this photo Latino Muffler Man; the giant fiberglass statue is clearly standing outside of a Mexican restaurant.

In Malibu, of all places.

03/02/2001 - The Gamble House

4 Westmoreland Place ? Pasadena, California

One of the best-preserved examples of American Arts & Crafts architecture in the country, the Gamble House is an amazing example of what southern California must have been like around the beginning of the 20th century. For the extremely well-to-do, anyway.

Greene and Greene's architecture is such a delight to look at that it's easy to overlook the equally magnificent landscaping that was part and parcel of their designs. This is a shot of the patio behind the house. You can see the rear facade of the house at the far left edge of the photo.
