Griffth Observatory after the fires.

Tee Why

Recently, there was a fire in the Griffith Park where the Observatory lies. Famous for being featured in numerous films, including James Dean's "Rebel without a cause" it overlooks Los Angeles from the north, so looking south you see downtown LA on the left and the Pacific on the right and even the Hollywood sign behind you.
1. Moonlit enterance view


2. Monument to the astronomers.


3. One of the new telescopes for viewing LA, downtown in the background.


4. Walking around the promenade deck


5. Sunsetting.


6. Sunset, look carefully and the Hollywood sign is on the right side by the antennae.


7. View after sundown. Downtown LA is on the left.

Very nice! I like that last shot the best. Sure glad it is still standing. There's a lot of history up on that hill.

Could have been much worse.
