This is Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood as it appeared a few weekends ago, the red carpet about to roll out for the premiere of Ender’s Game. The extensive use of privacy screens made me chuckle.

Birdsong fills the entrance to the Museum of Contemporary Art in downtown Los Angeles.
A very appropriate sound as the space is dominated by a huge metallic sculpture in the shape of a bird.
My eyes followed my ears, searching for the source of the sweet, soothing chirping sounds. There were speakers, somewhere, no doubt.
Instead, I found swallows nesting about the structure, their song amplified by the art that serves as their home.
What a wonderful melding of urban art and nature.

Morning fog and chilly temps won’t stop these people in Venice Beach from riding a wave or two.

Visitors to the Venice Beach boardwalk are likely not tempted to look down. It’s usually a good idea to keep your head up — to look out at the ocean, to people watch the beach or to keep an eye out for oncoming pedestrian/skateboard traffic.
That said, it’s worth noting someone’s taken the time to paint the entire U.S. Declaration of Independence onto the pavement of the pedestrian path.
If you ever make it there for a visit, it’s a little nugget worth looking for.

These are the horse sculptures outside Calgary city hall, looking over Olympic Plaza toward The Bow skyscraper and the twin towers of the Suncor Energy Centre.
