Man Flying a Kite at Angels Gate Park in San Pedro, Ca, under s blue sky with the Korean Frienship Bell in the background
Last year I spent the day driving around Los Angeles with a couple of photography friends.  As we arrived at the Korean Friendship Bell I shot this picture while my buddy shot his composition standing next to me! 

I honestly didn't care for this picture when it was shot and we were going to reshoot during a sunset at a later date...then my friend died and I have found a different level of appreciation for this picture!
I will always remember his generosity, crazy sense of humor, and his love for his two children!

RIP Thomas Allen Gartner III
Pt Fermin Lighthouse was built in 1874 and since 1972 has been on the National Register of Historic Places.
This is the remnants of a 1920’s cliff collapse in the southern part of LA which took with it multiple houses and part of a road. You’ll have to jump a barrier, crawl under the fence on the side of a cliff, and possibly pay a $400 fine (if you’re caught). It’s worth the risk to see this amazing, unique, and slightly apocalyptic feeling place that not many people know about.

The staff was very nice. I had a nice large room that overlooked the marina full of boats. The hotel is beautiful. One complaint: no one ever came to clean my room after my arrival. I was told that post-COVID I needed to arrange room cleaning, which I did after the first night, but still no one came ...
