Aw, Mullholland Madness, now I'm jealous. I miss going down there. We usually got season passes and went down there several times a year. Not this year though. :(
I have a similar shot from the 13th floor of the Paradise Pier Hotel. I think I need to scare that one up. Thanks for sharing. :D
How does the new water front area look? Have they finished the construction there yet?

Cheers!Image

Nope, lots of construction there. Every where, really. Sad, in a way. Walt would not approve.

A trained eye, and some clever camera work though, always hides it. Smoke and Mirrors, smoke and mirrors.

That almost looks like a miniature. Something about it seems ... artificial. A great shot, though.

I think that it is the blur around the edge that gives it that effect. You see that kind of photography with model trains to disguise the scaled trees. Great effect though, making it look like a miniature.

Cheers!
