More from that same night in November 2007 from the last post (where I'm finally getting around to posting). This is a from/near a bridge over the L.A. River.

Refining
These shots were taken over three years ago, only a few months after I got my S3, but I never got around to doing anything with them. Then last night I drove past this oil refining plant again and remembered I'd once spent a cool November evening standing on a bridge taking them, and it was about time I got them up.

Other scenes from Disneyland
Some of the bits of the Magic Kingdom that don't end up in as many photos as other, more iconic images.
1. The eye of the whale that eats Pinocchio gazes upon this purple flower in Fantasyland.
2. The inside of the book above the entrance to the Alice in Wonderland ride (Fantasyland).
3. Shadow of leaves on lamp bulb outside the entrance to It's a Small World (Fantasyland).
4. Shadow of caballero on the Rachero del Zocalo restaurant (Frontierland)
5. Moon rising as seen from the patio of Plaza Inn (Main Street U.S.A.).
6. Light glinting off C-3PO in the entryway to Star Tours (Tomorrowland).
7. Near-full moon behind the rocket above Redd Rocket's Pizza Plaza (Tomorrowland).
8. The moon behind that rocket. (Hey, what else would you expect from me?)
9. Neon-laced contraption next to Astro Orbiters (Tomorrowland).
10. Tree near Pixie Hollow (Fantasyland).
11. Fountain near Pixie Hollow (adjacent to Fantasyland and the Central Plaza).
12. Tinkerbell (or possibly another pixie) at night, on the entry to Pixie Hollow (Fantasyland).

Rocks over the garage
Over a garage of an apartment building down the street is this rock sculpture on the wall with a single bulb, which casts interesting shafts of light at night.

Urban Light 6
Continuing with shots of the Urban Light sculpture at LACMA. (For the explanation, see this post.)The night these were shot, the moon was full (or very close), so with these that gets the focus.
Urban Light 5
Continuing with shots of the Urban Light sculpture at LACMA. (For the explanation, see this post.)Tight shots of the dimpled ball of the lamp.
Urban Light 4
Continuing with shots of the Urban Light sculpture at LACMA. (For the explanation, see this post.)
This shot I share because of the difficulty in taking it. Not that it required great physical exertion, or placing myself in danger. No, all I did was climb some stairs.
Next to this exhibit is the multiple-story Broad Contemporary Art Museum building. On the side facing the exhibit are stairs running along the side. So to get a higher angle on the lamps I strolled over to their base, noticed no sign nor chain nor barricade, and then climbed to the first landing. I made no effort to be surreptitious in my approach to nor in my ascension of the stairs, but only after I was already up there did some men in sport coats from by the building on the opposite side of the exhibit come running and telling me I had to come down.
However, before they got close and I had to comply, I snapped off this one. Had to get something for my trouble. (Apologies for the settings--no time to make adjustments.)

Urban Light 1
Just outside the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), on its south piazza, artist Chris Burden restored 202 vintage cast-iron streetlamps in a project he called "Urban Light".
Since February of 2008 this exhibit has featured the lamps lighting up each night at dusk and staying on until dawn. (I am told they are powered by solar cells that charge during the day.) And there's no fee to walk among them; they're accessible from the sidewalk, all night long (even after the museum is closed).
How did I find out about this? On a Saturday night last April, about 9:30 at night, my fiancée told me to put on my shoes and bring the camera. She offered no details about our destination as we got in the car. We drove to the Mid-Wilshire district, parked, and voila.
(Yes, she took me there not just to look but with the express purpose of taking pictures. Egad, I love this woman!)
(Yes, it took me all this time to get to posting these. Yeesh, I know. More shots coming soon.)
