View from my “second home”
I’ve posted pictures of the winter view of Downtown LA from the Baldwin Hills in the past. Last week we received a great deal of rain here in Southern California from some cold storms. This meant that our local mountains received a good deal of snow at lower elevations(2500 feet). So, once the clouds had mostly cleared, I braved the traffic and headed up to Kenneth Hahn(he was a long serving member of our county governing body, the Board of Supervisors). Various parts of the park are named for his family, the grassy bowl area just west of where these shots were taken is named after his daughter Janice(who currently has his seat on the Board). I made 3 trips up there in the past week: the first I shot the snow at its greatest coverage, the second I shot IR and the summits of the mountains without clouds, and the third was a shoot with the local photography meetup group(no mountains were visible).

Downtown LA golden hour.
After two trips to the Baldwin Hills, I received an email that my photogroup was also going to shoot up there as well. Even though, there was rain predicted for the morning and early afternoon, I headed back for some golden hour pics. We did get a nice sunset but the mountains were completely obscured by cloud cover. The photogroup lead jokingly asked if I lived in the park.
