Venice Beach is both exhilarating and disturbing. On one side the real estate is more expensive than Santa Monica and they look at the homeless from their windows. It is without a doubt people watching paradise.

The architectural heritage of Los Angeles is incredibly deep and rich. The art Moderne (art Deco) era is no exception. The Eastern building is the icon in Los Angeles, just as Radio City Music Hall or the Chrysler building are in New York.

Union Station in Los Angeles is another architectural marvel. It was too difficult to make it part of a group entry, as it deserves more attention. Waiting is never a pleasant thing to do, but if you must, I cannot imagine a more agreeable environment. inside and out it makes the best of what can be difficult.

Walking, yes walking in Hollywood there is not limit to the sights. There are architectural riches not to be believed. Of course people watching at an equally remarkable level. Those who desperately want to be seen and those who just want to be themselves.

Today was the tour I have been waiting to do for 8 years. Broadway in downtown Los Angeles.

The Chocolate Factory, hidden away for years, is now destined to become a trendy restaurant.

The Los Angeles Theatre, I was in once before when Justin Timberlake was making a music video, but I had only a small camera, this time I was able to take photographs without interfering with anyone.

There are so many more treasures here in Los Angeles, some already gone; some saved thanks to the efforts of the Los Angeles Conservancy.
