As I drove to work one morning I spotted a lone cloud just hovering above downtown Los Angeles. By the time I got somewhere I could stop and take a picture, it had broken up a bit, but still looked really interesting.

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.

I saw Endeavour on one of its flybys today, and watched it land at LAX….

I saw Endeavour on one of its flybys today, and watched it land at LAX. 

There were a few snags (like the fact that the space shuttle flew past the OTHER side of the building twice when I wasn’t expecting it), but that’s what makes it a story and not just a statement, right? Read on (plus more photos)!

The Late Train

Train Departing Aviation Station

I haven’t really kept up with this photoblog since moving day, two months ago. I’ll try to get back on track with a new post each week.

This is Aviation Station along the Los Angeles Metro Green Line, the closest station to LAX. (It doesn’t actually stop at the airport, but you can take a shuttle bus.) It’s also the nearest stop to my office. Before I moved, I’d sometimes take the train up to this point and a bus the rest of the way to work.

One night I was working late and missed the bus. Somehow convinced that the next one wouldn’t be by for an hour, I decided rather than sit and wait, I’d walk the mile and a half to the station. Three or four buses passed me, so it didn’t save me any time, but it was interesting to watch the planes line up for landing, and I caught this view of a train leaving the station as I was arriving.
