3 hours flight away from Texas territory, I crossed the border of California state, and touched down at the much sought after LA, a city boosted with the glamorous Hollywood icons. Well, just another big modern city. Follow the tourist trail to discover what a tourist is supposed to discover and you are done. Don't know why, I don't have much 'feeling' towards the rather hard and cold photos I took in US. Perhaps only the mesmerizing landscape and unique rock formation of the national parks here could attract my attention, rather than the well-formed and expected city life. If I had a choice, I would have abandoned the city and left for the nearby mountain range. The burning fire on the hot cover was taken in Universal Studio, with a compact digital camera.
