Nash Metropolitan Crash Car

North Hollywood, CA -- Hollywood, by nature is whimsical, weird and fun. Many store fronts beg a second look while driving, as well as some pedestrians. In Hollywood, everyone is out to make a statement and be noticed. "NoHo" is full of interesting subjects. A photographer could spends weeks and never run out of subjects to shoot.

Then there is the Nash Metropolitan. A funny-looking compact car made in the mid 50s to the early 60s. The Metropolitan was the antithesis of the large American cars made in that era.

If you are ever in NoHo, stop by and check out the Metropolitan Pit Stop.

LA Waterfall Attracts Weekend Walkers

Pasadena, CA -- Los Angeles experienced a little Summer on Saturday.

The warm day attracted many a hiker to the hills above Pasadena. Those willing to hike over fallen trees, thick brush and numerous stream crossings enjoyed a refreshing, 50-foot waterfall at the end of the half-mile trail. Although the trail was packed with weekend warriors and water-lovers, the reward of this simple yet tricky walk inside the box canyon is always well worth the effort.

Another example of the diversity of Los Angeles.
