Reel Estate

Old film reels decorate the roof ceiling of the Hollywood and Vine Red Line Metro Stop. It's a nice effect. I also took the time to look closely at the reels and they're genuine.

 

Just for yuks: If you look at a fairly large image of this and scroll up and down with a mouse wheel there's a weird illusion where the reels appear to spin.

 

This was taken hand-held and I didn't get the best exposure, so color is somewhat recreated. The reels are actually a deep blue, almost indigo. If I get a chance to take my Gorillapod back to the station I might be able to get another shot with truer color.
