There was no room,and if I did he would have toed me and the wagon behind his car so he could get more stuff with him.Thats what happens when you ride in 3rd class coach.

You guys got a lot of neat places,I'm not much of a hiker but can get a ways from my car with a medium format camera,and a little wagon I have for the larger stuff.

One tends to think of places like the ones I suggested when one has lived in one place for four decades.

Its been six decades for me,how blind I am!! How ever since I drive a truck I get views that are not easily seen by cars or people just walking down a street.

Great suggestions! I might check out a couple of those places this Saturday morning after I leave Freestyle.

And out to Jan in New Mexico, I was born in Abq. and I go home at least once a year. This coming January I am planning a road trip home and maybe shoot in the red rocks near Gallup.

Note: The webpage does not state why it was closed for nearly a decade after the reopening, before recently being reopened (but this one does: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angels_Flight).

Too bad I wasnt around, I live and work in Ventura, but make it back down to LA every weekend almost. Some good locations mentioned...there are a few more interesting places downtown LA in addition to the Concert Hall and Angels Flight:

New Magnet School

Hi Edward, welcome to APUG. I'm just a few miles away. Gorgeous weather we're having, huh?

 

[juneawr]

I'm in Hancock Park which no one seems to live near :/

 

[ezwriter]

Ever shot the gorgeous bridge over Colorado blvd near 134? Last year some idiots built apts UNDER the bridge practically. Who would live there-trolls?
I think it was made in the 30s, great old lamps along its length. And Samys camera nearby..

 

[Peter Schrager]

I am in Westwood when I am there.

 

[brianentz]

In So Cal as well. Apple Valley - next to Victorville.

The great thing about California is - you're only a few hours from beaches, Deserts, Sierra Mountains, Scuba, Great Cities ......

Hello to all! New member here. I'm near Riverside/Corona (Lake Mathews). I have a few days during the week off, usually. Give me a shout if you guys come up with a "get together" of any kind.
