I was traveling for work in Los Angeles and took a few photos along the way.

Some fun facts about the City of Angels:

  • LAX is the second busiest airport in the country
  • has a Mediterranean climate
  • ethnically diverse
  • there are more cars than there are people
  • major center of the entertainment industry
  • the famous Hollywood sign was originally named “Hollywoodland” which was an advertisement for a real estate development company
  • Beverly Hills started as a lima bean ranch
