Just to share my note. I highly recommend a GARMIN GPS. Change the coordinate format on your unit to match Google Map. It's hard to take good pictures though as the marine layer we have in our town. There are nice views if you happen to be there after a rain storm or a windy day.

awesome idea for a thread. good job
|
absolutely fantastic shots. Every LA thread is great but the distance shots here are off the charts. I especially like the downtown skyline shot with Dodger Stadium in the foreground, best pic of LA's skyline i have ever seen

The LA Times has compiled the list: 1. Griffith Park (its Bird Sanctuary area, part of which just reopened for the first time since the 2007 Griffith Park fire, saw the most filming days) 2. Point Dume State Beach in Malibu (its first time in the top 10 in the three years since the list has been going) 3. Dockweiler State Beach in Playa del Rey 4. Linda Vista Community Hospital, which is A) spooky as hell and B) getting a big redevelopment 5. The Sixth Street Bridge, which is set to be knocked down (it has concrete cancer) and replaced with a swoopy HNTB design 6. Elysian Park 7. Venice Beach 8. Will Rogers State Beach in Pacific Palisades 9. Herald-Examiner Building, which has been waiting and waiting on a redevelopment 10. LA County and USC Medical Center |
