1. Nice! I havent been up there for 15 years..never at night

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. Thank you, my dear BlueWaveNeverEnd!

I've been there too, in the daytime, so when the opportunity came to see it at night, I leaped at it!

I was not disappointed.

4. You can thank those evil liberal democrats for that view!....Oh Wait!!!!

On August 30, 1967, California's elected leaders came together to unify statewide efforts to address severe air pollution. Governor Ronald Reagan (republican) approved the Mulford-Carrell Air Resources Act to create the State Air Resources Board, committing California to a unified, statewide approach to aggressively address the serious issue of air pollution in the state.

Lots of bad things done by ronny for sure, but this was one of the good things.

I hadn't realized he was part of something so good.

Hope you enjoyed the photo.

7. How magnificent CaliforniaPeggy,

I've always loved beautiful skylines.
They have their own place in artistic glory.
Yes, I'm serious lol.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

16. Thank you, my dear JMCKUSICK!

I've always loved skylines too, and have always wanted to capture a decent version. I may have succeeded with this one.

I know you're serious; so am I. I agree completely.

9. Thanks, Peggy! This reminds me

of the time in high school when I took a Greyhound bus from Miami to LA (I was young enough to withstand three days and three nights on that bus! ). My boyfriend out there drove me up through Griffith Park to the observatory, then put his hands over my eyes, led me to the front of the observatory, removed his hands...
What a sight! Miles of the valley were lit up like a glittering constellation!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

18. Thank you for sharing your wonderful story, my dear ancianita! Ah, to be young and crazy again!

That view must have been astonishing for you!

And I'm glad my photo reminded you of that happy time.
