More City of picspam

[selenak]

Because a digital camera is a traveller's second best friend. All the other times I visited Los Angeles, I didn't have one.





So, let's start with one of my favourite places, Third Street in Santa Monica. Which is nifty because one can actually stroll there, and also because of the Dinosaurs.



Then there's a picture which sums up Los Angeles for me, the slight surreality of same if you're me, at least:




Today was spent with iamsab, who lives in Hollywood. We headed off for brunch, and what should we come across but this sight:




Naturally, I had to squee "Heroes", and take pictures. Plural, because the sight of Giganto!Hiro & Ando was too good not to take a close up of:



After brunch, iamsab showed me the farmer's market in the middle of Hollywood (did I mention I find Los Angeles surreal, in an endearing sort of way?):



And since we were there anyway, we had to pay homage to the Oscars:



And to Graumont's Chinese Theatre (I remember the first time I visited, as kid of 12; the Star Trek and Star Wars signatures in concrete were by far the first I looked for *g*):



We watched a movie, too, Stardust, which was charming. Perhaps more later.

OMG. Gigantic-Hiro-and-Ando is awesome. :D

I feel like I've seen that scene in about a dozen different movies/TV shows. It does kind of sum up LA.

I love that the shot that sums up LA for you is, in fact, my street and in Santa Monica!

Nice photos. I'm looking forward to at least looking FORWARD to Heroes. All my other shows, save Dexter, are on hiatus.

Ah, but Santa Monica is the best of Los Angeles (save for this villa *g*).

I'm still gleeful about our two Japanese boys in that format.*g*

Ooh, Hiro and Ando! They must be reunited then--I hope so! [notes 24 September]

[selenak.livejournal.com]

In all seriousness, I'm afraid their reunion will have to wait for a bit - after taking the trouble of getting Hiro to feudal Japan, no way will the show not let him stay there for a few episodes, and I doubt they'll let him time travel back, pick up Ando, and then return to feudal Japan.

On a less serious note, until then, they're at least reunited on a gigantic billboard!

No, I don't expect it to happen right away, but I'm glad Ando's coming back. Hiro needs his friend.

Is it my imagination or is that look Ando is giving Hiro distinctly non-platonic!

Nice photos. Thanks for sharing.

Well, Kevin Smith thinks they are an item. *g* And you're welcome.

Fantastic photos. You're making me excited about the big 30 trip next year!

[selenak.livejournal.com]

Which you will so enjoy, young woman, and don't forget to visit the Universal Studios.*g*

[bohemiancachet.livejournal.com]

Haha. I told Kate my no. 1 choice was Disney.

OBVIOUSLY, Selena K.

Lovely pics, thanks for sharing! And yes, that: typical LA pic? That's what I would picture LA like.
