Photo-finish Friday: out and about


Here's another in the on-going series of wall murals. This pic was taken from a window of the Metrolink train from Riverside to Union Station in LA. It's one of a series at the Montebello station, placed at intervals along the side of the tracks. Somewhat faded, they may date back a few years.

This one represents the valley as it must have looked 75 or more years ago. There seem to be irrigated fields of maybe strawberries or some other vegetables. Beyond are low hills with oil derricks, and beyond that the mountain skyline. Looking over the fence, you can see what's become of all that today.

Photo-finish Friday is the bright idea of Leah Utas over at The Goat's Lunch Pail.

  1. I like it. These kinds of things can be very cool.

  2. There are actually surely a lot of details like that to take into mind. That is a great point to bring up. I provide the thoughts above as general inspiration but clearly you will find questions like the one you bring up exactly where the most necessary thing will certainly be working in honest very good faith. I don?t know if best practices have emerged around things just like that, but I am certain that your job is clearly identified as a fair game. 강남룸싸롱
