Downtown Los Angeles

I am excited to start posting photos from my 12 day vacation in Los Angeles.

My friend and I decided to travel to Los Angeles for a little sun, visit friends, hang out on the beach, and to relax (if you ask my friend this really didn't happen and I am sorry for that. I am kind of a crazy person to travel with because I am always on the go and have to see everything! I get too excited sometimes when I am visiting places. )


I can't even describe how much fun we had! Our trip was full of friends, adventure, fun, famous people, beaches, and excitement!  It felt like I never left, and it felt like I had been gone for years. Things were different but still the same. 

One evening, after driving around the city taking photos, we decided to go downtown to take photos of the sky line from one of my favorite places, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power.  It has water surrounding the building with fountains. I always thought this was a neat place to take photos and it was usually a quiet area in the evenings to just sit and watch the sun set over the hills.  

Here are a few photos from that evening. It was a Sunday night so the area was empty. Perfect for taking photos! These photos are from the Department of Water and Power, and the L.A. Music Center area.

My favorite view of the Los Angeles Skyline. 

When my friend and I left the downtown area, I decided not not go on the 10 west towards Culver City, where we were stay. Instead I took Wilshire Blvd heading west. When we came to the Westlake area/MacArthur Park I noticed the an amazing photo opportunity. So of course I pulled over and we took a few photos! Each one of the night photos were taken with out a tripod or edited. 

Thank you and hoped you enjoyed my photos! :)

Packard Automotive Plant, Detroit Michigan

I have always been fascinated with older buildings. Growing up in an old mining town, I have been around my share of falling down buildings. Where ever you looked, you would find old buildings that struggled to stand. Each one had their own story, their own part in history. This is what I found most interesting about them. 


When my friend took me to the the Packard Motor plant, I was excited! I did not go too far into the plant, but ventured in far enough to take a few photos. It was very interesting to see what was left of this historical place. I only wish I could have seen it up running. Hope you enjoy them!!
