Camera obscura...
...I went to the Getty Museum today. Another of my many LA firsts. I didn't go for the art though - I went for the architecture. To be honest - the exhibits weren't my kind of thing. Plus - I'm European... we have old stuff hanging off every wall.Art tastes aside - the Getty is well worth a visit. It's only $7 to park and then the place is then completely open. You take a funkly little tram up to the hills and the views of LA are as spectacular as LA gets. You really do feel like you are on top of the city.
The buildings are pretty special too. Designed by Richard Meier, it's a wonderfully modern space. Open and light - with lots of complex, intersecting angles. I spent my time wandering the space - taking photos. Some were just of the views, the gardens, the building. The rest were of details. To show my artistic side ;) - here's some shots.
Tomorrow I'm meeting my old friend Dana for coffee before shooting off the LAX to catch a flight home. I have to be honest - I'm really looking forward to getting home. LA is okay in small doses. I think this one was a couple days too large. I'll write a full E3 review when I hit the airport if I have time.
Nic.

Nice shots. I would like to go there one day to see the art though. (Well, I'm like that. Love art.) I'll have to visit the Tate and British National Gallery when I hit UK. Old stuff on every wall? ... I love Surrealism. Makes me feel at home because they paint what's in my head! Bwahahahahaaaaa!
