| Los Angeles |
I don't often get to drive up Laurel Canyon. When one lives in the area, it's just not something you do often. However, when playing tourist guide it's different!

The views from up on top are fantastic, and there are several View Turn-outs so you can park and enjoy the beautiful vistas.

I know there are famous people who live up this canyon, but I wouldn't want to live there! The houses are secluded, but the traffic is horrendous.

You do get an appreciation for how huge this city is - how Los Angeles proper and a hundred little cities have just mushed into one big mass of humanity.
I believe the native Indians used to call this the "Valley of Smokes", because with the sea on the one side, and the mountains on the other, the basin tends to trap smoke, dust and particulates.
It was very hot the day we did this bit of sight-seeing, and very smoggy.

In spite of the heat and smog, it was fun to get up on the mountain for a fresh perspective of life in Los Angeles!
