My kind of "eye candy"...

...fabrics, brilliantly colored, sparkling in the sun, with a touch of dazzling sunshine and a splash of luminous blue sky. The Fashion District of Los Angeles, CA.

Turquoise Terracotta: this looks yummy...

...the building is so beautiful I just snapped the picture. The Eastern Columbia Building, put up just before the Depression. Now housing elegant condos.

Ten Miles on Foot...

...it was fun. We walked from the Factory District to the top of Bunker Hill; enjoyed the Angel Flight ride and this interesting fountain---er, water feature as they say nowadays--covered most of the Districts except for Flowers....

Why does the CVS Pharmacy have the creepy clown over the door?

....could this be Southern California? We spent the first day walking with Blonde Guy around Santa Monica.

Wonderful West Coast School of Architecture....

...not really---that's the "blog name for l'il pearl's grad school. Walking in front of me: pearl, hubs and the blonde guy at the right. We toured her school, which is located in an old railway warehouse in the Factory District of LA. Pearl explained that the colored cellophane effect at the upper left is called an "installation": each freshman class at the school works as a team to alter the space somehow.

Slices 1.2: Still trotting around on the Wild Side...

...looking northeast from that 6th Street Bridge, I found a bit of the LA River, with scenic color contrast and so on. This was our last adventure--but don't worry, I'll post some prettier photos as the day goes on...

Barbb tries to take a walk on the wild side...

above is the better picture..
...pearl and the blonde guy live in the "loftified" Factory District of Los Angeles. These were taken from the Sixth St. Bridge over the Los Angeles River and many Railroad tracks, so you know that Hubs was the instigator of this walk and was just a few steps away. Minus the railyard, this is very similar to the view from the kids' west window. More photos to follow...
