Repeating curve pattern on a hotel wall. Not the first time I’ve tried to take a photo of it, but I think I like the soft lighting on this one, taken while this section was in the shade, but still very well lit by indirect sunlight.
On Pokemon Go, it’s a gym known as “Recursive Walls.”
#photo #wall #pattern #tessellation
Looking up at the walls of a hotel near LAX. The #patterened #facade in the first photo is repeated on several other walls around the hotel. Above it are many layers of #interleaved balconies for the hotel rooms.
Does anyone know the term for this #architecture style? It’s sort of post-Googie, pre-Brutalist?
Not as good a photo, but a wider view for context, before they repainted a couple of years ago. The wall and balconies are on the tower to the left of the frame.

May those of you who are traveling today get where you’re going with a minimum of hassle.

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.
Dashed contrail. You can really see that it appears and disappears with the same atmospheric conditions influencing natural cloud formation.

Looking up at an abandoned office building near LAX. A Cal Fed bank sign is still faintly visible at another corner.

First sign of work at the southern end of what will be the Crenshaw/LAX Metro line. The Green Line station across the street was built with a partial Y connector and pylon bases to make it easier to eventually connect up a future N/S line. Now thei they’re finally going to do something with them.
Cloud shadows on the sky. The late afternoon sun is off to the right. The shadows were just barely visible to the naked eye, so I’ve increased the contrast severely.
For the whole length of this hotel, the sidewalk is bordered in rosemary. When they trim it, this part of the walk smells more like a kitchen or spice shop instead of an airport.

Sunset Clouds Above Downtown LA (2/2) on Flickr.
Gorgeous day after a rainstorm. I kept checking to see whether the San Gabriel Mountains had snow, but the clouds never quite lifted. Even at sunset only the lower slopes were visible…but those clouds made for some spectacular sunset viewing.
