Observing Los Angeles

Street scene

Jacaranda and hydrant
What says Los Angeles better than a non-native jacaranda in full bloom and non-native water being spilled on the street to flow into the storm drains and out to sea? Alan Pavlik of Just Above Sunset came across a car vs. fire hydrant crash yesterday at 3rd and Vermont. "A big crowd gathered, of course. It was kind of like a party – even the firemen were laughing. And it made for some interesting pictures." Lots more photos of the drenching over there.
