Large sculpture that looks like twisted wire around blocks. There's a palm tree for scale

So near, so distant. A big SKYHIGH WELCOME for all those barreling past the storied streets of Downtown Los Angeles and all who walk upon them. I’d love to stop, stretch and visit the Grand Central Market (if only for a half hour), but it’s not to be. #DTLA #Freeway #LosAngeles #Skyline

View of Downtown Los Angeles, captured in the late afternoon from the 5. City Hall is visible at the forefront of the skyline, only slightly. The sky itself is pale blue, thin wisps of cloud visible to the left of the image.

Scenes from the #DTLA Turkey Trot! I had a very slow time this year, but given the state of <waves hands> all this, I'm feeling pretty good for just finishing it.

Me and the mister, pre-race, in front of Los Angeles City Hall. You can see a big orange inflatable turkey in the background.

4 men in Santa hats and inflatable orange turkey costumes, standing with a person in a Grinch costume, who is wearing a Turkey Trot t-shirt over the green fur.

Me and the mister, post-race, with our medals in front of a big orange inflatable turkey that says "I ❤️ LA" on it. Los Angeles City Hall is in the background.

Dark smoke coming up from over near Union Station-ish. #DTLA

If I'm reading PulsePoint right, it's a structure fire at 573 N Gallardo.

A plume of dark smoke rising up from behind buildings in downtown Los Angeles.

This is the city. #StreetPhotography #DTLA #Broadway

Had a nice rainbow today in #DTLA.

Rainbow arcing across the sky in downtown Los Angeles

Not terrifically exciting as an aurora photo, but terrifically exciting for where it was taken. #aurora #DTLA #SoCal

Aurora Borealis in downtown Los Angeles - a glow of red in the clouds behind City Hall

We're seeing the #aurora here in #DTLA - it's cloudy enough and thus subtle enough that I don't think you'd notice it if you weren't looking for it - but there is definitely a red glow that is not normally there.

This is a black and white street photo in landscape format of a young Chinese girl in a Dragon dance costume. Chinatown, LA (2014).

Dominating most of the image is a small Dragon dance costume with the face of a young Chinese girl visible inside the Dragon's gaping mouth. The costume really is only the Dragon's head. On the top are two large staring eyes on the sides of the head surrounded by vast amounts of fluffy eyebrows, I'm sure there is a nose but it's not apparent. Below the eyes is a large and wide mouth with many white teeth on the upper and lower jaws. Below are long strands of white hair, perhaps our Dragon has a beard?

The young Dragon is waiting for the Chinese New Year Parade to start on the small hill above LA's Chinatown, California.

I forgot to post my other photos! This was Friday morning, when we have our weekly "house meeting". The clouds came low to greet us on our outing, and I ordered something I haven't ordered in years - a pumpkin spice latte. I chose that because every so often, I like to re-try things that I don't like - just to make sure my tastes haven't changed somehow. Verdict? Nope - still don't like pumpkin spice. Heretic, I know.
