Los Angeles Los Angeles

The clarity of western light renders the city basin bright from foothills to coast. The neon-bedecked ferris wheel turns above the rustic wooden planks of the Santa Monica Pier. From high in the Hollywood Hills, all is laid out in a panorama below. Shaded canyons offer quiet retreat under graceful sycamores and oaks. In downtown, an ever-increasing liveliness invites, from the Flower Mart to the Jewelry District, from entertainment venues to Dodger Stadium. It is frequently been argued that Los Angeles has no center, but this assertion disregards the wealth of discovery in the textures of dozens of unique neighborhoods. It is a place of phenomenal diversity, both of landscape and of culture.
