really does have some wonderful sights!!!

This is one of my pics from the Photo Workshop I did there
in July...

    Lovely kind of art-deco facade. I am wondering how the whole building will look. Thanks for showing.

    Thanks s.c.!!! Definitely art-deco...the building is really beautiful, although the surroundings leave a bit to be desired...it's in the Broadway Theater District of downtown LA. (I added a link to wikipedia that has a couple of photos of the whole building)

    Thanks Danielle!!!

    Do you remember this building Bibi???

    Thank you LOL!!!

    «Louis» is always happy to see Art Deco buildings. It was such a grand style. Oakland has many Art Deco buildings. The interior of the ocean liner Normandie was done in Art Deco style.

    Thanks < Louis > ! I agree about the Art Deco style...my very favorite style of architecture, clothing, art... and the best time period for cars too!!!

    Thanks Tash! There was no way I was going to take a photo of the whole building!!! It would lose so much of the intricacies of the design! And the sky was spectacular that day so it worked in so many ways!!!
