While visiting Los Angeles we actually stayed in Holiday Inn in Pasadena, a suburb. The view right in front of our hotel was spectacular.

Los Angeles - the pit, Hollywood blvd (part 2)
An active pit. It is currently being excavated to recover bones that have been found. There are flags planted to indicate where the bones are.
Famous Hollywood Blvd. We went there at night. Parking was a little issue but eventually we found a parking lot nearby and was able to park in reasonable price. From there we walked around.
Street artists offering various types of services. The woman in red jacket in the image is drawing a portrait of the boy sitting in front of her.
This young man were painting these pictured using spray paints and they were really beautiful. He was selling them for only $30.
The all famous Hollywood stars. A few actors that we are fans of.
Every large city has its share of homeless people. It is a sad reality that even in a rich and advance country like America there are so many homeless people. I live in Canada and we surely do have our share of it too.
From the lobby of our hotel. Hear-achingly beautiful.
Los Angeles - Hollywood sign and Griffith Observatory (part 1)
Visiting Los Angeles and not going to check out the Hollywood sign close up, was not something I could live with. There are several ways to watch it from a distance but getting a close up view is a little bit more work. I did some research beforehand and drove to Canyon Lake Drive where it is possible to park on the side of the road. From there we followed others to get a pretty good view of the sign. The walk and the beautiful panoramic views to get there were definitely rewarding.
From there we headed toward Griffith Park Observatory, which is located on the south facing slope of Mount Hollywood and not too far from the Hollywood sign. The observatory itself is pretty nice to look at but the views from there were particularly great. Nobody should pass this spot if visiting Los Angeles.
