Took a trip up to the Griffith Park Observatory for a stunning view over Los Angeles. Well what you could see through the smog. It certainly is a vast city, and you can look straight down the roads as they disappear into the far distance through city block after city block.

You can also see the Hollywood sigh a bit closer from up there. I was shocked as to how small it seamed from down on Sunset Boulevard. You can't get that near as it is protected by alarms and security gates. The original sign read Hollywood Land and was an advert for a new housing estate. Now one of the most iconic images in the world.
