What a beautiful area. Those mountains add a lot to the background too.

Parts of southern California are so beautiful. I use to love hanging out in Westwood and Santa Monica. Great pics.
|
West LA rocks.
|
Thanks for the photos! This is just my personal opinion, but I think the Santa Monica-Westwood-Beverly Hills-West Hollywood-Hollywood corridor is the best area of metro LA.
(now it just needs a subway running down Santa Monica Blvd) :D |
I disagree. I dislike this part of LA very much.
These are good photos though, thanks. |

jeeez......
...in the 60's and 70's everyone headed for LA or tried anyway. Surfing was such a perfect pastime and the music echoed the activity. I will always think good thoughts about the entire area...and never forget the billboard "The Doors, Live at The Whiskey".
Thanks for the photos |
I really want to go to LA. Thanks for the pictures.
|
The old alma mater is looking good.
|
Thanks for sharing. That was the one part of LA I did not get to see when I was last there. Definitely want to go. And yes, I love that dense looking picture in Westwood Village. Despite its reputation for sprawl, I am constantly amazed at how dense many areas of LA are.
|
Man, I love that part of L.A.! That Westwood Village shot is incredible.

Great photos, you were in my neck-o-the-woods. Everyone seems to be interested by Westwood... I believe you may have inspired me to do my own photo post on it. |
The UCLA campus is quite impressive even if the architecture is a pastiche of several traditions. I sometimes marvel at the difference is between the America of the 1920s (in LA, USC's campus also stems from that era) and the contemporary period. Even in depression-era LA, there were some jaw-dropping buildings going up. If a civilization is judged by its art and buildings, we're in a period where even the grandiose looks cheap. I know there are exceptions but it almost seems like we don't care anymore.

Nice pics, but the first one in the Santa Monica section is technically in Brentwood...
|
I did not know that. Speaking of Brentwood, I wish I would have taken pictures of the Par-3 golf course I played on there. It was kind of hidden away, behind a retirement home I believe. But It was on top of a hill overlooking all of Westwood and that area. Also, it was a pretty easy Par 3 so I did halfway decent :notacrook:

Jeez, I can't remember the last time I was out that way. I may have to visit sometime before I leave SoCal. Great pics :tup:
Out of curiosity, were the first couple of shots taken in the last few days during the fires, or during the morning sometime in the past when the marine layer's in full swing? |
Now...I could live there.
