There is Beauty.

LA actually has a lot of sweet spots, if you can delve past the urban sprawl.  Please feast your eyes on a few that I have stumbled upon in these last 8 weeks.

1. Street performers in Venice Beach.  The boardwalk is famous for a reason.  Nevermind the puke and pot shops.
2. Hollywood sign from the Griffith Observatory.  I love a huge park in the middle of a city.  You know, like that other one.
3. Skate park in Santa Monica
4. View from Runyon Canyon, a real quick hike to sweet city views.
5. View from top of a parking garage at Paramount Studios, where I shoot Glee.  H-wood sign in the distance.
6. Pepperdine University in Malibu.  Good thing I didn't go like I wanted to; would have gotten absolutely nothing done.
