So one of the best perks of our neighborhood (the "Miracle Mile") is living within walking distance of tons of great restaurants, shops, and cultural sites. Shortly after moving here, I got a membership to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) and spent several evenings browsing through their mix of sculptures, furniture, paintings, and extensive grounds. Then, LACMA underwent a huge construction project of its new Contemporary Art wing and added one of the coolest sculptures I have ever seen, "Urban Light."
A grouping of about 200 cast iron grey streetlamps from all over Los Angeles County, the sculpture is astounding in daylight and breathtaking at night. A few weeks ago, we wandered around the La Brea Tarpits and then over to try to capture a small part of the beauty of "Urban Light." It was cloudy and threatening to rain, but luckily the weather held as I snapped away.
I love this picture of Scott under the lamp. This was near the "Two Germanys" exhibit, which is apt because he lived in Germany for several years.
Beautiful Los Angeles by night.
