LA River

For Get Pushed, Round 12, I was paired with the incomparable Nikonsnapper, whose work is stunning, and to be honest, a bit intimidating to someone like me who is relatively new to photography. However, I was thrilled to

be paired with him, and he immediately spotted the lack of landscapes in my photostream.

 

 

He said "There doesn't appear to be too many landscapes in your stream, so I would like to see an urban landscape, in monochrome with a dramatic sky."

 

So... at my oldest daughter's advice, I drove towards the San Pedro Bridge in Long Beach, racing the sun before it set. I think I would have made it too, had I not taken a wrong turn on the 710 freeway. I had to exit and turn around, but before I could get back on the freeway, I drove over this bridge and saw the LA river, very low this time of the year, but the sky was perfectly reflected in it. Serendipity. So I pulled over, grabbed my camera, and ran like the paparazzi after Lindsay Lohan exiting the courthouse in order to catch this.
