L.A. & the Santa Monica Mountains




Hali and I stayed at the Best Western motel just a hop, skip and a jump away from the famous intersection of Pico and Sepulveda. I took a walk in the early morning traffic and took this picture of traffic stopped at, yes, Pico and Sepulveda.

We drove into the Santa Monica Mountains, past Malibu, Zuma and Leo Carillo beaches, turning on a small two-lane road winding up into the foothills, past bicyclists, thence hiking down, down, down through the chaparral, finally reaching a sylvan glade with oaks and sycamores.
