hello
Thread Starter
I took a late afternoon ride up to the Griffith Observatory here in L.A. today. The weather was pleasant but hazy.
Here are some photos leading up to the observatory. The observatory itself has been closed due to renovations but will re-open in spring. The George Harrison plaque is located at the entrance of the observatory parking lot.

Is that up by past the Hollywood bowl? I think it is. There is a water catchment area up there? or am I way off, only went up there once about 10 years ago. Madonna has/had a pink house my friend was showing me up there too.

plin: They are Nitto moustache bars.
ovoleg: It's an old 2mp camera, I'm looking for something much smaller though...

...and Madonna destroyed that classic spanish house by painting those ugly stripes on it.
