Downtown LA @ Night

1 Comment

These photos were taken from the view of my apartment in Downtown LA, at a building called Bunker Hill Towers. It’s kinda stalker-ish I realize, but I think the city looks lovely at night.

I’m glad you took these pictures. Documentation of the past, on the way to the glorious future–and I think the colors here go really well with this grayish scheme the blog’s got going on, don’t you think? BHT was not a bad place to spend some time.
