Our #Photowalk today brings you to Griffith Observatory, the no. 1 tourist spot in Los Angeles (yes, it attracts even more people than the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the city tells us) where you can get the best city views anywhere, and a decent selfie of the Hollywood Sign.

We got some really large, aggressive waves in the South Bay this week, unusually heftier than usual. So on 12/18/18, I got down to Manhattan Beach and Hermosa Beach to document them. Photos are fun, but please enjoy the video as well, where the crashes seem way

In the world’s busiest intersection, some 1,000 people make a mad dash during prime time to get from one side of the street to the other, in a massive five way crosswalk.

Manhattan Beach is the quintessential Los Angeles beach town, a little oasis tucked away from the big city. We’re a small community of 35,000 folks, flanked by the Pacific ocean, and the theme everywhere is waves, water and an ocean breeze. The average daily temperature is 72 degrees.

Our favorite time of day is early, early morning, before the sun comes up, when it’s just us, the birds, some random joggers and surfers out on the streets of Manhattan Beach and Hermosa Beach.
