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.

Mirrored Bricks

Reflecting Bricks

There’s a sunken courtyard near the office where I work. It’s shaded on three sides by an office building, a hotel, and a parking structure. Trees soften the sunlight that does make it through. Three steps lead down from the edge to the brick floor, with a smattering of concrete benches and planters.

One day last winter, a rainstorm flooded the courtyard. Not very deep, maybe an inch or so (if that). Just enough to turn the bricks into a mirror, which really struck me as bizarre.
