Lightweight Hike to Inspiration

Los Angeles -- Spending Sunday afternoon with my wife nearing Inspiration Point.

Sunset Over JPL

Pasadena, CA -- Tucked in the foothills of Pasadena* exists a small village of structures, laboratories and offices called Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). It is here, in the shadow of the San Gabriel Mountains that scientists and engineers explore outer space by constructing and controlling robotic planetary spacecraft. JPL also assists Hollywood writers and motion picture production experts by advising them with scientific accuracy.

*Although the address is Pasadena, the JPL campus is actually located in La Canada/Flintridge

Thomas' Tower

Pasadena, CA -- A ribbon of electric wires cross the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains. I took this photo of the tower during a night-hike on the Sam Merrill Trail Wednesday night.

Some of us call them Edison Towers, high tension wires, etc., while others consider them an eyesore. Nevertheless, they do bring things to light--or is that GE...?
