Urban Lights - a forest of city lights

This was my second visit to the LACMA. Quite amusing when we arrived here - coz there were around 50+ photographers . Apparently, there was a photography meet up group happening here - experimenting with flash photography on a model. Atleast 10,000 photographs would been shot in a span of 1 hour.

The "Urban Light" art installation at the LACMA (Los Angeles County Museum of Arts) is fast becoming an iconic Los Angeles landmark. This forest of city street lights, called “Urban Light” was created by artist Chris Burden.

They are switched on every night from dusk until dawn. A great place to visit during evening, the lights against the "blue hour" of the sky makes a great picturesque view after sunset

An Evening @ The Getty Center

Clear blue skies at noon with whiffs of cotton clouds, a storm approaching in the evening and a golden sunset - a visit to the Getty Center can be rewarding in such conditions.

I love the symmetry I see here, the little patterns, shadows and curves  in this wonderful architecture.

The Travertine stone — 1.2 million square feet of it— is one of the most remarkable elements of the complex. This beige-colored, cleft-cut, travertine catches the bright  light, reflecting sharply during morning hours, and emitting a honeyed warmth in the afternoon.
