Van Nuys at Night

Hey all. I'm in a valley of a different sort - the San Fernando variety. I could write volumes about my disdain for Los Angeles - not for the people who live there, but issues pertaining to the city planning, the socioeconomic conditions. It's just appalling that in the richest country in world, we cannot provide a usable mass transit system, functional roadways, and police presence.

I'm staying at the AirTel Plaza, which is conveniently located along the runways at the Van Nuys Airport, which up until recently was the busiest general aviation airport in the world.

Makes for some interesting photography, especially as I'm an aviation junkie. Sort of amazed that after 2 days of hanging out the window of my hotel room with a telephoto, still nobody has called the police. So much for the security of a post 9/11 world.
