This is the work of a very talented kite-flyer, who was hanging out at San Francisco’s Crissy Field a few weekends ago.

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.

The Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles is an architectural marvel. Thank you, Frank Gehry.

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 windows at the San Diego Museum of Contemporary Art in La Jolla, California, showcase the living art that is the Pacific Ocean.
A security guard there said artists would prefer not to be displayed in this gallery because people spend more time staring out the window than at anything else in the room. (And as it happens, on this day, the other walls are bare.)
