I went yesterday afternoon to take some photos from the observatory. I remember going there as a kid, but its only a foggy memory. But yesterday was beautiful. Great for taking photos.

It was a little dark because of the cloud cover, but the view was incredible and the sky was crystal clear - you could see out to Catalina. I’m still working on my “pet” photo project of taking pictures of downtown LA. So there is probably no greater vantage point for the entire LA basin than the observatory.

These photos are from my digital camera. I need to develop the ones I took with my 35mm. Plus, I didn’t even go inside. It has been fully renovated, along with some pretty nice additions (all underground.) I’m coming back for sure, though I’ll probably bring my scientifically-minded wife. I think she’d love it.
