Colors of Los Angeles

It's been a loooong time since I've posted on this site (I've been hiding and silently enjoying everyone else's pics without contributing...)--I now have hundreds of pictures that have accumulated over the past year or so and thought I'd share. These were all taken within LA County.

If you want more detailed locations, I recently uploaded all my LA photos to www.flickr.com/photos/onlyla and have captioned them with the neighborhood/city.

Hope you enjoy!

I love the diversity in this thread. Hard not to love LA when presented in this light.

Thanks, everyone, for the kind words! And glad to hear others admiring LA's beauty like I do... sure it's rough around the edges and sometimes pretty hideous... but often it's absolutely gorgeous!

@ThreeHundred: Isn't this at least the second thread where someone got your building?
@Dweebo2220: Welcome (back, I guess) to SSP, these are amazing!

Very nice, casual and unforced is what comes to mind. Slices of life in the big city.
