Central Library Ceiling, Downtown, Los Angeles, California, USA

High ceilings in the beautiful Central Library in downtown LA. Nicer than any library I’ve ever seen!

Bradbury Building, Downtown, Los Angeles, California, USA

Downtown Los Angeles is full of wonderful architecture, and the Bradbury Building is one key example of this. It was built in 1893 and was commissioned by Lewis Bradbury, a silver mining millionaire turned real estate developer. Loved the inside of the building! There were engagement photos going on while we were inside too.

Interior of the Central Library, Downtown, Los Angeles, California, USA

The inside of the Central Library in Downtown LA is amazing. Who knew libraries looked like this! This is one of the main lobby rooms. The ceiling art was so colorful!

Water Court at California Plaza, Downtown, Los Angeles, California, USA

This is the Water Court at the California Plaza in downtown LA. That night, there were no performances, but it is often used as an outdoor concert area on other nights. In the sky, a plane (or UFO?) flew across, leaving a streak of light. Relaxing place to just sit and watch the flowing water.

Postcards at Farmer’s Market, Los Angeles, California, USA

I almost forgot a photo today! While I was a tourist over the weekend, I had to take some pictures of the quintessential “touristy” thing – postcards!

These lights are turned on at night and are solar powered by panels on top of the […]

Truck, Gilmore Gas Station, Farmer’s Market, Los Angeles, California, USA

The Farmer’s Market began when Arthur Fremont Gilmore and his partner bought two large ranches, one which was a dairy farm at […]
