Went with a fellow shooter to the Financial district in Los Angeles to add to my "I Love LA" gallery. The Financial District has high rise buildings and can be a bit sterile, especially on a quiet Sunday morning. I was trying to find dichotomy of nature vs man made stuff. Kinda.

C/C welcome, whole gallery is here.

View straight up on Grand Ave, yup, it's a grand view.

    Tom,
    I like the first shot a lot! I'm not sure about colors, but the composition is gorgeous!

    Thanks Nik,
    I used vibrance tool in RawShooter Premium to really juice up the colors to LSD level. :) Too bad I didn't save the RAW version, but I can always go back again I guess.

    Thanks for all the comments to others too.

    No, no, it's just for the first image. I don't even think that was taken in fall.
    We have seasons here, it's spring, summer, and fall.
    No real winter unless you drive upto the mountains.
