The sky behind the autumn leaves was stunning on an early November evening. I had only to travel to the back yard to find this scene.

Concert at The Forum: The Strokes

Wednesday night... the primary reason for this vacation. Seeing The Strokes in person at The Forum in Los Angeles. Another bucket list item checked off.

Library Park

On Wednesday morning I walked to Library Park, home to El Segundo Public Library. It's another beautiful urban oasis El Segundo has to offer.

After plane spotting this morning, I decided to walk around El Segundo a little bit more. I checked out El Segundo Parks & Recreation, where I found several sports fields and other recreational opportunities. I also checked out some of the downtown area... it's a great place to visit!

Plane Spotting at Clutter's Park - Part I

Clutter's Park is the best plane spotting site at LAX. That's not just my opinion; many people share that opinion. Here are a few shots from that afternoon.
