The flared entrance to the tunnel under Bunker Hill in Los Angeles gives this ordinarily mundane scene a little something … more.

Granny here is part of a larger piece of wall art that’s popped up in the last few weeks (maybe months?) in Calgary’s Kensington neighbourhood.

Another oldie today … one of my favourite nighttime photos shot with the iPhone 4.
Visiting New York in February 2011, I came across a couple of kids recording some skateboarding videos at Columbus Circle in Manhattan as I was walking back to my hotel near to Lincoln Center.
With every take they made they got better at what they were doing … and I got to practice my panning skills.

Finally, a chinook in Calgary! Sweet relief from winter’s grip … but the pools and puddles from the melting snow are all over the place.
The Flickr title for this photo: “S is for Submerged”.

While San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge gets a lot of attention, the Oakland-San Francisco Bay Bridge is no less visually impressive. The section you see above opened in 2013.

About halfway between downtown Los Angeles and Venice Beach lies Culver City.
Known mainly as a place where movie and television production studios/head offices are located, the main commercial drags in Culver City are worth wander for an hour or two.
A grand old hotel with a touching sculpture out front and beautiful fountain art behind (images above and below); neat neon signs all over the place; two grand theatres with cool marquees; oh so many restaurants, cafés and bars.
If you have the time, you’ll enjoy this small detour … for your eyes and your tummy.
The attractions are all clustered around Culver and W Washington boulevards, parallel to Venice Blvd.
If you’re the driving type, it’s not too far from I-10. If you’re the transit type (as I am) take Culver City Bus Route 1 in and out of Venice Beach or Metro Expo Line trains from downtown L.A. to Culver City transit centre. Additionally, Metro bus routes 33 and 733 serving Venice Blvd. have stops near this area.
(Don’t bother to walk: I tried that and ended up stopping for a bus after an hour moving at a fast pace.)
