Rooftop Photos of Downtown Los Angeles from Hollywood
It’s a clear, crisp night. While walking the dogs, I couldn’t help but get distracted by the massive amount of stars overhead. It’s hard to see anything in smog-riddled Los Angeles, but tonight, the night sky was speckled with stars and in the West was a particular bright evening star—Venus!
I went up on the roof deck with my new digital camera (oh, have I mentioned that I got an awesome new digicam for Christmas?) and took a few snapshots. I live in Hollywood, which feels like the suburbs to me compared to Lynn and Boston. Most of Los Angeles doesn’t feel very “urban” so to speak. The city is just so large and spread out; there’s no need for the tall structures and compactness of East Coast cities.
Here’s a few shots of downtown Los Angeles from my vantage point here in Hollywood. It’s about a 15 minute drive away or maybe 8 minutes on the subway stop near me.

The planet Venus shone brightly in the western sky above Hollywood and West Hollywood. I couldn’t help but take a picture of that also:
