Author: Nuurs Ortiz

The Walt Disney Concert Hall at 111 South Grand Avenue in Downtown Los Angeles, California is the fourth hall of the Los Angeles Music Center. Bounded by Hope Street, Grand Avenue, 1st and 2nd Streets, it seats 2,265 people and serves (among other purposes) as the home of the Los Angeles Philharmonic orchestra and the Los Angeles Master Chorale.

Lillian Disney made an initial gift in 1987 to build a performance venue as a gift to the people of Los Angeles and a tribute to Walt Disney’s devotion to the arts and to the city. The Frank Gehry-designed building opened on October 23, 2003. Both the architecture by Frank Gehry and the acoustics of the concert hall (designed by Yasuhisa Toyota) were praised in contrast to its predecessor, the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion.

Figueroa Mountain Scenic Landscape
There were several raving reviews about the wildflowers at Figueroa Mountain last week so I decided to check it out for myself.

I was hoping that the flood lights would have come on at dusk but it wasn’t to be. I sort of like the resulting warm and cool color juxtaposition though. It will be interesting to see how the same composition looks at sunrise.

Pasadena City Hall is full of interesting architectural details including the staircases. I’m [...]
