A Particularly Clear Hollywood Day

With the temperature in the mid-80s (27-28 C) and the relative humidity 14%, the sky could not be more clear. I saw no clouds as I snapped this photo of the Hollywood sign.


Mount Lee, on which the sign is located, is often obscured from fine detail, but not today. I'm standing in the intersection of El Centro Avenue and Selma Avenue and am approximately 2.3 miles from the Hollywood sign.

Can You See Me Now?

Traveling down El Centro Avenue, near the eight-hundred block, I snapped this shot of a Google Street View vehicle.


Notice the red ball on top, looking a lot like a soccer (rest of the world: football) ball. I had hopes that the driver would return to his car and I could get my image onto Google Maps, somehow or other. That didn't happen, so you, my adoring public will have to wait.


In the background of this photo is the former Hollyhock Orphans Home where as a child, Norma Jean Mortenson, AKA Marylin Monroe lived. Hollyhock was eventually converted in a magnet school for the Los Angeles school district.

Upper Afton Avenue in Hollywood

Back in March I was sauntering up El Centro Avenue and chanced by this scene and couldn't resist snapping a picture.

The Petrojvic Blasting Company

Hilarious! These guys were at the Farmer's Market on Sunday. They have their own material and it's quite funny.

Sadly, I find only two references to these two guys in the 'net. They are brothers and from Tennessee. Very funny, very musical.
