What cool things do you see on your drive?

[MENTION=2014]JeannieCO[/MENTION], this is a fun thread. It made me look at my surroundings more and yesterday I took some pics while driving. My iphone almost fell out of the car while I took a couple of these too! lol

A couple landmarks I drive by is the Wrigley Mansion which is now the official home of the Tournament of Roses Parade,

then I hop on the Arroyo Seco freeway, which is the oldest and first fwy that Los Angeles ever built : (picture courtesy of Wikipedia)

Once I get off the fwy, I exit into LA's Chinatown. This is the entry/exit to Chinatown w/the two dragons to greet you:

Then I pass by City Hall:

and the Criminal Courts Bldg--famous for the OJ Simpson Trial, and Michael Jackson's doctor's trial to name a couple:

[MENTION=2014]JeannieCO[/MENTION] I could take a long way to work and take pix of working girls. Any interest in that? :evil:
 
TRAFFIC

Traffic, traffic and more traffic.... then after I get bored looking at that, the I see more traffic, then lots of people and then rats... I'd love to capture all of this visually and post it for you :ROFL:
 
@JeannieCO I took these yesterday in Valley Forge National park on the ride in to work around 6:45 AM eastern time

In CA, I had a horrible commute but it was often made better by seeing dolphins leaping out of the ocean. Now my commute is much better but I miss the dolphins. Instead I see deer, turkeys, goats, cows, and corn. Sadly no pictures of dolphins as I haven't had my camera phone that long. But I think I have a picture of a turkey crossing the road somewhere...

Forgot to add that it is really neat seeing and hearing about everyone's drives to work!
