Before Dawn


My camera makes the pic lighter than it was this morning as Ramona and I climbed up to the Observatory.  I've yet to figure it out but many, many Koreans are on the trails to the Observatory and Mt. Hollywood before sunrise. Hiking and running in the blackness. I hit the trail around 5:30am and some folks were already coming back down.  It was frigging dark and yet this is a daily ritual.  Amazing. I do enjoy the coolness and the fact I can let Ramona off lease which she loves. We keep ears and eyes alert though as I saw two coyotes the other morning.

It is a lovely sight to see the lights of Land of La from the Observatory.
On clear days the best view of LA bar none. You can see all the way down to Long Beach, over to the coast and to the East the San Gabriels. Today it was a bit overcast. Still a nice POV of the sprawl.

Even the Observatory itself has a different glow that early in the day.
