Los Angeles Area

 

LA DW & P Water Valve

 

Long Beach, D W & P

The bright sunlight worked in my favor this time.  It doesn't happen very often with these light color valves.

 

LA RCV Cover

 

Long Beach, R C V Cover

Since this is from LA, my idea is that the R C V means "Real Cool Valve".

 

LA Olivera Street Flowers

 

LA, Olivera Street Flowers

Yes, I found Mole Poblano and a Mariachi band that night.

 

Olivera Street Fox

 

LA, Olivera Street Fox

Who and why this was done, we'll never know.

 

LA No Dumping

 

Long Beach, No Dumping

Of course this is in Long Beach, where the oil floats to the shore from the pumps and ships off the coast.

 

Commerce, Yellow Hydrant

 

Commerce, Yellow Hydrant

Great California motif, "Hydrants in the Sand".

 

Commerce Sewer Cover

 

Commerce, Sewer Cover

Commerce is a great city for commerce, but the street line painters and cover men have no sense at all.

 

Malibu Handicap Reserved Parking Spot

 

Malibu, Handicap Reserved Parking Spot

Even if you were handicapped, you probably couldn't afford to live there anyway.  So don't worry about it.
