Pedestrian View Of Los Angeles

This blog focuses on rail lines in LA country that exist, are under construction or under consideration. The Californian high-speed rail project and southern CA to Vegas project will also be covered. Since most of the relevant developments in the news, rail websites and blogosphere take place on weekdays, this blog will be updated primarily Monday through Friday and occasionally on the weekends. Your comments, criticism and suggestions are encouraged. Miscellaneous stuff will also appear here.

Symmetry to Beverly Hills streets and the Asymmetry of Los Angeles streets



I stood on the city limits between Los Angeles and Beverly Hills. I stood in the middle of the four-way intersection and shot these two photos. The contrast couldn't be greater between the two. Clearly, Beverly Hills is noticeable as the tree line is striking and the architecture is fairly consistent. What is not obvious from the top photo is that there are a few buildings that have a different architectural style.

With the second photo, the asymmetry is obvious. There is no tree line and already the buildings on both sides of the street are of different architectural styles.

It really helps if you left-click on these photos to see the details.
