Crenshaw Line Metro rail 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.

Near as I can tell they’ve stopped watering the back half of the park, but you can really tell where the runoff collects.

It’s been a banner spring for a lot of other flowering trees and bushes, but the jacarandas are just getting started.
It’s been a banner spring for a lot of other flowering trees and bushes, but the jacarandas are just getting started.
The last few years have been really dry – since I moved to the area, actually – that this year’s half-normal rainfall seems to have kicked all the perennials into high gear. Most of the flowers are winding down (or being trimmed off) now that the rain is done, and I’d started wondering if I’d missed the jacarandas or if the change this year had meant they hadn’t flowered. And there was my answer: A tree with leaves, flowers, and buds forming. I hadn’t missed them after all, they just run on another schedule than everything else around.
The angle of the sun makes the contrails’ shadows stand out sharply
The wind was steadily blowing from the left of the frame at ground level, and apparently at the level of a popular flight path as well. The angle of the sun makes the contrails’ shadows stand out sharply, and you can really tell the older trails from the newer ones by how far they’ve spread out.
