From atop Kenneth Hahn recreational area West of Los Angeles, I looked at the breathtaking scene of downtown Los Angeles. Snow-capped mountains peeked through the hazy, low clouds, painting a picturesque backdrop for the city's skyline. Despite the cold and discomfort, I was determined to capture that iconic shot in my own style.
I found a spot on the slightly sloped hillside and settled in, wishing I had brought a heavier jacket. With patience, I waited for two long hours, feeling almost ready to give up reminding myself that I should have dressed for the chill. But just as my hope wavered, the magic began to unfold before my eyes.
The once-dim and rather flat lights of the skyscrapers gradually awakened, casting a mesmerizing glow upon the city. As if in harmony, the clouds thinned and blushed a deep pink, and like a theater curtain slowly rising, they revealed the majestic snow-capped mountains standing tall in the background. It was a scene more stunning than I had ever imagined - I knew I had something special!
In that moment, I learned a valuable lesson: the importance of patience. The beauty that unfolded before me reinforced the idea that sometimes, the best things in life come to those who wait. And as I held onto that incredible image of downtown Los Angeles, I knew I'd gotten a shot that embodies the name "Los Angeles".
While I have an amazing array of great landscape images, this one is, by far, my best seller, and with good reason. I have an image that communicates.
No matter what else one may think about LA, it is gorgeous.
