Or alternatively, Head Fountain. A bit creepy, this steel head faces the sky and water comes out its nostrils and mouth, dripping into the pool behind its head. It was in a very interesting part of the LA Central Library - an outdoor public art space that detailed the rise of language and other things. This head actually had nothing to do with that - it was just a left over piece that the artist wanted to use.
We got a lot of interesting tidbits of information today on our library tour. Read more about it on my BLOG! That's right. I started a blog. You know, to set myself apart from everyone else on the web.

Today was USC's homecoming and although I work for the arch-rival UCLA, my wife went to graduate school here, and we've made it a tradition to go to the football game. Today was awful, they lost to Stanford 55-21. Oh well.
Around the start of the 3rd quarter I climbed to the top of section 11 to get this 7-shot panorama, using my compact. Check out the guy in the lower left corner - he's shooting Nikon and I think he has a 500mm lens, but it could be something else. It was a nice clear day, so you can easily see downtown LA in the distance.

Today I flew back to LA at night and was treated to an amazingly clear view out the plane window. As we flew over Palm Springs, I could see Mexicali and San Diego quite clearly. The dark mountains looked like water, with the city lights coming up to its banks. I think this shot looks like a snake crawling into the city. Of course in reality it's a freeway that crosses some rugged hills, probably the 57 North of Brea (I'm facing South).
Even with f/1.4 and ISO 800 I had to use a really slow shutter speed, so this is one of the few photos that turned out relatively sharp. With the high ISO I had to remove a lot of noise spots, and I adjusted the exposure slightly.
