The Central Library in downtown L.A., as seen from across the street (and behind palm trees, yes). Notice the lines of light on its west-facing entrance, from morning sunlight reflected off other buildings.
The lower shot zooms in on the relief sculptures by the door, where the reflected light is cast upon the face of Wisdom.

Wise light
Apocalypse afternoon
(Believe it or not, these are how the shots came out as shot, without computer manipulation. Oh, the power of tweaking the camera settings.)
The future
Right off the 101 freeway in downtown L.A. this unusually shaped structure is under construction:
When first I saw it I figured it must be a museum or some crazy condo (every other building is). Still, even without knowing its coming purpose, it struck me as a worthwhile subject, so I got into downtown a bit early one morning and took some shots.
Both from a distance and then up a bit closer.
And around on the Grand Avenue side where these round windows could be seen.
And after I had done that I looked into what the building was to be. When finished it will be... Los Angeles Unified School District Central High School #9.
But the design makes more sense calling it the High School for the Visual and Performing Arts.
(Images of how it will look can also be found here.)
On air

From a block away (Pershing Square)...And from the corner at the end of the block (5th and Broadway)...
No stopping
Long shadow of street sign cast by midday sun reflecting off downtown skyscraper (California Plaza One).
