Pasadena, CA -- Another beautiful day in the Crown City.

Water Flows Not So Free

Los Angeles is in the middle of another water shortage. We Angelinos are asked to only water our lawns twice a week, sweep our driveways instead of using the hose and avoid flushing the toilet unnecessarily. Yeah, right!

LA doesn't have too many natural streams like in the old days. There are a few near natural streams like the Arroyo Seco in Pasadena. Most of our water resources come from our mountains both near and far. Anyone read Cadillac Desert? Despite the lack of water, there are some secret spots here in LA that still flow with cool, sparkling water--even in the dog days of summer. Of course it's harnessed and directed by man, but it's still water.

Pasadena Water and Power

Yesterday, while driving home, I couldn't ignore the last gloaming of the evening sun with the watchful moon above. The hazy light beautifully shone both on the industrial as well as the natural, as seen against the pastel blue foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains.
