Urban Jungle 2
This shot shows the source of the light for the previous post: the sun reflects off the side of the Bonaventure Hotel and across Flower Street. (That's the walking bridge between the hotel and the YMCA.)

Come in
The Roosevelt building in downtown Los Angeles was re-vamped into condos. That I'll never afford (if I actually wanted to live downtown). But because it's built over the downtown train station I pass right by the garage, and that's what these shots are: the textured walls of the garage entrace (taken from outside, back in August, when it was still under construction).
There I went again
Browsing through the photos taken earlier in the year that I had not gotten around to processing I came across these shots taken back on May 30. Yes, it's the same location as the last post--under the 4th St. overpass (along Flower St.) in downtown L.A.--which proves that I have a mildly recurring obsession with these rocks. Here's what they looked like around the same mid-morning time as with the last post, just six months earlier. (Notice the different angle of the sun.) And in black & white.
A plant grows through it
Under the 4th Street overpass in downtown Los Angeles, the side of the hill is covered with these rocks. At least six months ago a plant somehow grew through the concrete, but there's only a small window of time in the day when sunlight peeks through from above down on it. And for months that time was never when I was passing by. (Back in June I posted this shot of it in shadow.)
That is, until mid-October. These shots were taken between 9:50 am - 10:00 am on October 10, 16, and 17. Within a week after that, the window of sunlight on it had expired until next year.
