Taken from the top of Mt. Wilson on Saturday. Yes, Los Angeles really is down there under the cloud cover.

That's the best I've seen LA look in a long time.

 

Great picture Dave....That was SUCH an awesome sight eh? I felt like I was in an airplane looking down...What a fun day!!!

Donna

 

jeeeeezus u guys were up there

cool pic!

 

awesome !! did you need breathing apparatus up there

 

Dave, IMO you do scenery a lot better than you do random inanimate objects. Very good work.

 

Nope - seems like we all did fine. It was a little over 7000 feet up...Soooo Cool

Donna

 

Dang Dave, that is one awesome pic!
Love the tones and that added touch of the tree branches in the foreground for perspective. Nature can be so majestic eh. Thanks for linking to the larger version also.

I trust you enjoyed that fun road up the mountain.

 

Great pic Dave. The road up to Mt. Wilson ( and down) is usually better than the view from the top. Last time I was there I counted 106 turns in about 4.5 miles - baby Dragon?

Very tight - granite cliffs on one side and 500 foot drop offs on the other in several spots. Your brakes get a good workout on the downhill.

 

Wow.......that is a beautiful shot, Dave! Wonderful moody skies and the soft, feathery fog over the forest is just lovely!!! Good job!

Thank you for share this amazing photo. Down in Eagle Rock I had no idea of how beautiful a day it was.

 

Agro: so true

Donna: check out the C3 events forum for more discussion on the drive. What a great time.

scooby & Cooper_Si: It looks higher than it is, while impressive in terms of elevation gain to the basin below, there are a lot of spots in the U.S. plenty higher (in Colorado there are 53 peaks above 14,000 ft. ).

hafid: thanks, glad you like the photo.

Juan: We had a v. good trip up around and down the Angeles National Forest on Saturday. :smile:

CFMINI: definitely a lot of great roads out here. I'll let someone else comment on the baby Dragon status though, as I still haven't been out there to drive it.

Clo: The clouds were exceptional yesterday. Just stunning.

lisdexic: When we were headed out to the meet up point in Sunland it was looking really grim in terms of the haze and overcast. At points it almost looked like smoke from a forest fire. Then to pop up on top and see this amazing.


Here are a couple more from yesterday

 

Ummm hello... Being from Los Angeles, and you STILL dont know thats SMOG


Great pics. Worthy of a poster size print

 

I quite enjoy my blissful state of denial. :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: Clouds sounds so much better, especially when you know you have to decend back into that soup.

I was already planning to make a 16x20 print of the first one.

 

Dave,

Your photos came out better than mine

What a great time that was

I'm ready to go again
