Los Angeles

L.A. is a city of many surprises. It's easily got one of the most misrepresented reputations. Tourists have one idea of what the city is and I think people who live around the area have their own ideas. Admittedly I was one of those people who really didn't think there was much to see and do in LA... especially downtown LA. Turns out the city does have its gems, quite a few of them if you can find them. As a photo hobbyist, there are endless photo opportunities and I'm still finding new places!

The beauty of Echo Park. Yes... there is some vegetation and trees around the concrete jungle that is L.A.

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:Lots to do...
  • Cons:The traffic, the smog, typical big city BS
  • In a nutshell:Loadsa fun

    More fantastic stuff from joits! I absolutely love LA. You have to try that Mummy ride in Universal - just to see people run from it pale and screaming is worth the wait in line. But if you think the driving in LA is bad, don't come to Dubai! Ali
