STL DPB In Los Angeles: At The Getty

.
At The Getty 1

A couple of shots from our too-brief run through the Getty Center on Saturday. One of the things I like about LA is its cultural and ethnic variety. Sure, New York has plenty of that but the flavors are different here. Just from an eyeball survey there are a lot more East Asian people and fewer South Asian people. NY has a big Hispanic population but LA's is far larger. You hear Spanish at every turn. In the picture above, a young woman reads a Chinese newspaper on a terrace at the Getty. Below, the passageway to the area where she was sitting. The place is bursting with architectural oh wows.

I got some good pictures from the air flying out here and edited a half dozen yesterday. They are in the set for this trip I started on Flickr. Click here.

You can be cursed by a black swan, if you like, on Downtown St. Louis 365 today.

    And I really like the first one, that slice of unexpected life.

    Fine shots, Bob. That passage in the second image looks like a work of art itself, particularly the way you've composed the shot.

    I've been up to the Getty a couple of times. It tends to feel like the complex is more of a draw than whatever happens to be on exhibit. I have mixed feelings about the place.

    Thanks for the link to your mid-air photos, they are amazing. Number 2 especially with its perfect circles...
