The City of Angels: Mostly Downtown with a Splash of Beach
I recently traveled to Los Angeles and spent a week in this wonderful city. I had been here in the past when I was a little bit younger and didn't think much of it. I always went with the common reputation that LA was a sprawling empire when in fact this city has a great urban downtown, with strong historic bones, and many great districts forming a nice mix of people from all different cultures.
A week did not do this city justice and there definitely will be more frequent visits! I traveled all over the city however, most of my camera time was spent downtown. For those with low bandwidth, there are 135 photos in this set so I apologize if you hiccup! Let's begin shall we?
First up, Downtown! This was the first city, outside of my home city, I have used my 10-20mm lens. So, there are a lot of wide-angle shots!

The US Bank Tower, the tallest building in Los Angeles built in 1989. It rises a total of 310 meters (1018 feet) with a total of 73-floors. We will be seeing this guy a lot throughout the set!
