Larry and I drove up to Los Angeles yesterday to visit the Getty Museum. The grounds are beautiful with their high-maintenance immaculate plantings and water features. We did not partake in any of the free tours, just crashed at the end of the day. We lied down on the lawn adjacent to the water pool and listened to the birds, tho' we could not see them. Many of the museum's buildings housed older paintings and photographs. The exhibit most to our liking was the contemporary photography. An artist named Humble took a series of photos along the Los Angeles river. In another series, he contrasts making the most of your home in an urban settings. Many homes under powerlines or freeways still had that homey touch, like a vase of flowers in the window. Great observations and contrast.
