It meowed at us first! So of course we had to meow back until it meowed for the camera…

Every year, the Getty invites college students to come hang out and check out their exhibits. Panda and I went to enjoy the views, the art, and the free food! They had delicious garlic fries and sweet potato fries, along with a myriad of other tasty items.

: Looking up at the Getty from the tram station.

: On the Getty tram going up and you get a wonderful view of the 405.

: In the background, the city of LA sprawls behind the 405.

: Just a lonely palm tree standing there! And check out the pair of birds flying by.

: Oh yes, gotta love that layer of smog that envelopes downtown LA in the distance…

: And we have arrived, up on the hill where the Getty sits.

: It looks kind of like a racket or a beaver tail.

: And down there, the party! Lots of free food and mingling people.

: Overlooking the landscape of LA.

: You can see all the way to the ocean and beyond!

: There was a lovely garden at the Getty.

: The College Night sign projected onto a wall.

: As the night sky darkened, the city brightened with lights.

: They used a lot of “quieter” lighting.

: They had an artistic maze in the garden. I don’t think it’s functional.

: I’ve never been to that part of the Getty.

: Apparently the Getty has a library over there.

: It looks like an over-sized morning glory, doesn’t it? Maybe it is.

: I tried various ISOs and this produced brighter lights, but a much grainer quality.

: And now those same lights without the graininess and much darker.

: Returning back down to the tram station to go home.

Late night commotion

In the wee hours today, just past midnight, this helo just wouldn’t leave the area. In fact, I’d even say it was circling frantically. Or maybe it just felt so because it was traveling in tight, fast circles as its spotlight pointed straight at the Strathmore Regency. A friend who lives there told me that the police had their guns pointed at a guy and they were told to stay away from the balcony. The noise above lasted for about 15-20 minutes before I presume they apprehended the man and the police presence subsided.
