Hollywood

Pictures from my quick trip to Hollywood June 25, 2016

View of the Hollywood sign from Griffith Observatory


View of Griffith Observatory from the road under the Hollywood sign


Taking it all in from a roof top view


This was on my agenda of things to visit.  Amazingly enough, I walked right to it.


The Chinese Theater 

I was the only one taking a photo of Diane's star.



Hollywood Farmers Market
Sunday Morning













I did not notice the sign until later when I was looking at pics.



Made for a nice display, but I think I would have left the husks on.


Lots of peppers

These were some of largest Avocados I have ever seen



This was on the side of a business that did photo prints


Traffic wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be...

Some fallen timber blocked the Valley Loop Trail.
Fortunately I had my pocket knife and was able to whittle through.

It is hard to capture how super massive this tree is.

View of Half Dome across Cook's Meadow

I think those dome shaped tents are starting to catch on...

San Francisco

Seals at Pier 39

Heart at Pier 39 - Looking toward Alcatraz

A lot of people come to San Francisco and miss seeing the fine art.
Who knew a light snaffle bit was all that was needed to ride a fish?

I wish to be big...


Dragon's Gate.  South entrance to China Town - Bush & Grant 

Gotta love the jazz combo street musicians.

A view down Grant in China Town.
