Los Angeles, 1996 The 1935 Griffith Park Observatory and Planetarium high above Los Angeles is my favorite retreat from the flatlands below. It's great for watching sunsets, too. So often derided by the rest of the country, the city is actually home to so many wonderful examples of Beaux Arts and Art Deco architecture (to name two of my personal favorite styles). Art Deco just makes me smile and feel better.

The modern architecture of the renovated Griffith Observatory, looking down the corridor to the Robert J. and Suzanne Gottlieb solar calendar. The sun shines through the lens at midday and focuses on the day of the year on a calendar. The attention to detail is amazing. I was told that the stair rails have been built to point directly at Polaris, the North Star. (070109_025.JPG)
