Another facade of a destroyed building in WW2. Not supposed to be anything in particular, showing off the roof window finally. Enjoy!
Comme chaque année je m'engouffre sur Arles quelques heures. Quelques heures chaudes, longeant les murs à l'affut de leurs cris graphiques, appels si colorés et si silencieux. Murs, portes, tags, graffs, people de l'instant, pigeons voyageurs ...
Un monde d'une théâtralité écrite comme une courte nouvelle. Moite et collante.

Every year I rush Arles hours. A few hot hours, along the walls on the lookout for their graphics cries, so colorful and so silent calls. Walls, doors, tags, graffiti, celebrities of the moment, pigeons ...
A world of theatricality written as a short story. Moist and sticky.
The old Lloyds Insurance building, built in the 1920's, was demolished in the 1980's to make way for the new Lloyds Building, aka The Inside Out Building, seen behind. Just this frontage remains as a memento.

From today, a few snapshots of the city.
The low position of the afternoon sun illuminated the city's buildings with magical light. The glass facade of the corner building added plasticity to this view.
City in the afternoon - a series of snapshots from the city.
For the last few months, the Hollywood Bowl Overlook has become a place I head to when I feel the desire to go out and shoot but don't have time to get anywhere I like for a sunset. I need roughly an hour of notice to get to Venice by sunset and on some occasions, late weather changes lead to a colorful sky past the window for me to leave. The only other reasonably close option away from Venice is along the malibu coast but it's always hit or miss on the Pacific Coast Highway due to normal traffic or accidents and if you get stuck on the PCH, that's that. While I hate missing a nice sunset, I can't stand being stuck in the car after a lengthy drive for the sunset.
Hollywood bowl overlook is about a 10 minute winding and steep drive from my apartment in Hollywood and does not face the sunset. That is one issue with the place. the other is that the tiny awkward parking lot can get filled with those celebrity tour vans really quickly and then they bottleneck by the entrance. My solution to this is to drive a few minutes down Mulholland drive towards the Hollywood Freeway and set up on the side of the road. That is where this shot was taken from. I've ended up here a handful of times now and perhaps my only qualm is that I don't get the great (or any) traffic and light trails of the freeway here like I do up the road at the overlook. It is however, much easier to get clearer shots of the cityscape and also get that large cross in frame for nearly any shot I take.
This was taken at the end of December on one of those failed trips up the hill. I curse those vans every time I pause to look in and see there's no way in or out. I give them dirty looks when they go up and down the hill parallel to this spot and I have on one occasion, been in the middle of shooting long exposures when a van stopped and people got out on the side of the road to take cell phone shots. I decided not to move and it seemed like 20 people were crammed into one corner like cattle taking turns shooting selfies. I can't say I felt even a little bad about it.
While the sunset (out of frame and obstructed from view anyway to the right) was great--i think--, I was relatively fine with a fairly clear skyline that gave me the ability to get a little more detail in the row of tall buildings. The pinkish sky stuck around long enough for a handful of lengthy long exposure shots using the 10 stop ND filter and overall it was a pretty relaxing evening. This was before the sun dipped and before the city lights kicked on which is why this shot may not have the energy and luster of some of my night shots from here. At the time of this capture, the city seemed to light up around 5pm which wasn't too long after this shot. The color on the facades of the buildings and hill by the cross in the foreground come from the setting sun in the opposite direction. The light was at least reflecting off enough surfaces to give this photo a different look. I haven't been back here in a few weeks but there's been so much rain and now clear skies, I haven't had a lot of chances. I expect to return here soon :)
