One of the best views of the Los Angeles basin is from the Griffith Observatory in Griffith Park. Unfortunately, there isn’t nearly as much available parking as there interest in the observatory, so many visitors end up parking along the along the street and walking up the hill. But it’s well worth the effort. Light pol uti on has pretty much ended the serious use of the observatory, but there’s still a variety of excellent exhibits and a world class planetarium. But still, most people come for the view.
The photo above is actually just a small part of a panoramic view of the LA Basin. The complete image would measure more than 10 feet wide when printed, and the detail is extraordinary. Be sure to click on the link or the photo above to see the full image.
