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.”

Plane Hopping

When wild jackrabbits roamed the fields of LAX. (Los Angeles Times)

From time to time passengers in giant air liners are amused when giant jacks race the plane on take-off. Until now, none of the rabbits has left the ground.

Apparently they were eventually wiped out by foxes, who have since disappeared as well. (Also, most – but not all – of the area has been paved.)

It reminds me of all the rabbits we used to see near UCI in the 90s, especially out in the housing complexes on the edge. A lot of that open space has been filled in since then. I wonder if they still have much in the way of rabbits. # According to Nentuaby on Mastodon, “Campus was still plastered in ’em at least as late as 2010.”

Back to the LA Times:

The jackrabbit photo by Art Rogers was published as a double-page spread in the Dec. 2, 1946, edition of Life magazine.

Sort of post-Googie, pre-Brutalist?

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.

Crenshaw Line Metro rail construction

Bridge construction

Photo taken at: Proud Bird

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.

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.
