Disclosure: I shot this photo in December 2004 ... which is just about the last time we saw any rain in Los Angeles. But, if what the forecasts, and the skies, are saying is true, we're in for a storm.

-- Photo Collage By TJ Sullivan -- Click to View XXL Version --

A couple hours south of Los Angeles you'll find San Diego's Pacific Beach, home of great surf and the Crystal Pier Hotel, which offers cottage accommodations actually located on the pier, over the water. It's the only thing like it in Southern California. This photo is a view from the second floor of the main hotel structure. Click photo to view an extra large version in separate window.

LA Today: A Photo of Griffith Observatory

The usual curtain of smog in Los Angeles makes it easy to forget there are mountains just beyond Griffith Observatory. So, I took advantage of the clear winter weather today [12/28/2008] and snapped this shot from Mulholland Drive.
