The sun is shining. The grass is green. I don’t see any orange trees, and the palm trees aren’t swaying much, but it’s clear enough that I can see Beverly Hills, LA in the distance on December the 24th. All that said, I’d rather be here than someplace with subzero temperatures, “White Christmas” or otherwise. #losangeles #christmas #christmaseve #sunshine #christmassongs

Let There Be Light! (Weekly Photo Challenge)

In the Lamppost Forest

Urban Light at LACMA is a large square filled with over 200 lamp posts that the artist collected from various locations over several years, spaced wide enough to walk through comfortably. It’s like being in a forest of lamp posts — perfect for this week’s challenge.

The funny thing is, I wasn’t even planning on going there. We went to see the La Brea Tar Pits and Page Museum at the other end of the park. Oil has been seeping out of the ground for thousands of years, trapping animals and preserving their bones in an incredible collection of ice age fossils. But the parking lot on that side of the park was full, so we parked in the LACMA structure at the other end.
