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).

The Hummingbird Forest.
In addition to the fine views of DTLA, they also have a Hummingbird Forest(a brushy canyon with hummingbird feeders). I got a few shots of the little buggers before some larger birds scared them off.
