The Curious Capitalists are up in Northern California now, but I grew up here and find it far less exotically photogenic than the Southland. So I’ll robopost a few more shots from down there and maybe add to them if I see anything especially interesting around here.

To begin, here’s a shot of the Getty Center, which really is grand beyond belief, worth visiting even if you never get around to looking at the paintings ‘n’ stuff:

The roads were closed in Griffith Park, so we walked up to the observatory. A few footprints of our fellow hikers:
