Downtown Los Angeles from a distance.

Downtown Los Angeles from a distance. Despite the heat, the air is surprisingly clear over the LA basin. This is taken from the LAX area with a zoom lens. There’s still some atmospheric wiggling, but you can actually see the spire (and crane) on top of the Wilshire Grand Center, which is now the tallest building in LA.

Crenshaw Line Metro rail construction

Bridge construction

Crenshaw Line Metro rail construction. Near LAX and The Proud Bird, the bridge spans 111th alongside Aviation Blvd. In the mirror (yes, I know I need to clean it) you can see the raised section that will connect the bridge from the existing Green Line Aviation Station over Imperial Hwy to this one. Just past the intersection, the track dives down below ground as it passes the end of the runway, after which it climbs up again to the future train station at Century Blvd.
