One of the great but often overlooked advantages of having cats is that they can create a situation that gets me out of bed early to find out what all the excitement was about. My two cats were rushing away from the window, suddenly jumping on my blanket (probably chasing each other around), which woke me up I noticed out the window the sky on the horizon looking orange-ish. I got out of bed, grabbed my smartphone, and ran outside in the 48 degree temperature in my pajamas (and sweater), and got this photo. I shot a second photo, but I will post that one later.
I could have easily missed this moment had I not had two cats to wake me up.
It was a hot and sticky evening in Glendale as the B&O position lights stood tall shortly before being deactivated and removed from service.
After a hearty dinner washed down with some cold Yuengling at the nearby Cock and Bull, this was a fun way to waste some pixels.

Former Grand Central Air Terminal in Glendale, California, a block west of the Southern Pacific (now Union Pacific) tracks. Once upon a time it was the Los Angeles area's main airport. Seen as the San Antonio bus terminal in Pee-wee's Big Adventure. Comics artist Dave Stevens drew its north face (the side facing us here) into a panel in the Cliff's New York Adventure volume of his The Rocketeer adventures, and it looks suspiciously like the Genovian airport terminal building seen at the beginning of the second Princess Diaries movie.
Damage from the 1994 Northridge earthquake had left it unoccupied but still standing. It inspired the City of Glendale's float in the 2008 Rose Parade in Pasadena. On property now owned by the Disney company, this was also the setting for a photograph of the Los Angeles Who Framed Roger Rabbit animation crew, which may be seen at animator David Nethery’s The Inkling Chronicles blog.
Gentleman (and ladies), start your search engines and enter "Grand Central Air Terminal" for lots of fascinating Web information on this place. And fellow Flickrers have posted other interesting views.
So I'm a bit late to this whole Instagram thing. All this new internet stuff is scary and confusing. Yeah, it's embarrassing. Anyway you can follow me at @clarsonx.
I found this spot on Instagram from the feeds of a couple of great LA photographers @thekevingreen and @philsutphin. Had to check it out myself.
This is up in the Glendale hills overlooking downtown Glendale with downtown LA in the background haze.

AMEN CORNER: Located at 9218 SR 83 just south of Railroad Avenue in Glendale, Florida, this building was originally built in 1901. Glendale Presbyterian started in 1921 as a mission of First Presbyterian - DeFuniak Springs, Florida. Members met at the Masonic Hall and later a schoolhouse for 25 years. In 1946, a congregation that was dissolving in Bagdad, Florida offered their building to the Glendale membership if the Glendale group would move it. They did - by dismantling the building and moving it piece by piece from Bagdad to Glendale - a total of 65 miles.
This photo was shot on rainy and dreary day on Fujifilm Pro 400H in 120 format and was developed and digitized at home by yours truly as part of my continuing quest to achieve the best results possible from film at the lowest possible investment of production time and money. I'm not there yet, but I am quite happy with the improvements so far.

I woke up this morning just after seven. I was startled by how dark it was so early in the morning. I looked out the window, and then grabbed my phone and took this photo from the porch. The blue sky provided the ambient light, which is what is illuminating the buildings, probably at 5600 degrees Kelvin color temperature. I later took stills with my Canon EOS, but those photos will come later.
