Urban Light at LACMA is a large square filled with over 200 lamp posts that the artist collected from various locations over several years, spaced wide enough to walk through comfortably. It’s like being in a forest of lamp posts — perfect for this week’s challenge.
The funny thing is, I wasn’t even planning on going there. We went to see the La Brea Tar Pits and Page Museum at the other end of the park. Oil has been seeping out of the ground for thousands of years, trapping animals and preserving their bones in an incredible collection of ice age fossils. But the parking lot on that side of the park was full, so we parked in the LACMA structure at the other end.
What a brilliant discovery, and the perfect subject for the challenge 🙂
The lamp posts make quite a statement….
When I read about La Brea Tar pits, I was totally surprised to see that they are in LA. There is a La Brea pitch lake in Trinidad, West Indies, which I have visited several times.
Very well composed. Shooting looking up is great because a lot of photographers don’t think about it. Same idea with shooting down at something.
Wow!
Thank you for the kind words!
Very cool.
