Day 1619 - Telescope - 10.28.15

I drove up to the observatory again this morning.  I was hoping for a good sunrise, but the clouds never left and to the sky never had the amazing colors I was hoping for.  So instead I went for this darker cloudy vibe.  This view looking over Hollywood is something I saw today.

Day 1617 - Armenian Church - 10.26.15

I have driven by this Armenian Church over in Little Armenia a bunch of times to take a photo.  Today I got one I am kind of pleased with.  The challenge is that there is an ugly wall and telephone poles around the church so it is hard to find good angles.  This is something I saw today.

Day 1597 - Cugat In Spain - 10.06.15

Wow 1600 days I have been posting pictures.  It is hard to believe.

I have a few Xavier Cugat records.  All of them are good.  One of the things I like about this record jacket is the "Miracle Surface" label in the lower left side.  It makes me laugh when I read the claims record companies would make about new and better record technology.  This one claims to have an anti static ingredient.  The record industry never changes always trying to sell the next new technology for listening to music.  In the end records still collect dust with or without static.  I don't mind.  It doesn't take away from my enjoyment.  This is something I saw today.
