Billboards...

The one thing I've noticed since I've moved are the billboard's...A cluster of them that stretch from West Hollywood, Melrose andJust slightly out past Franklin and Highland... Ryan Gosling's face is almost at a stand off with Anthony Hopkins, promotingFracture... Hmmm, wonder what will replace that one... As I drivearound the city... I contemplate... Do I love the tall, lanky palmtrees against the backdrop of buildings that meet skyline... or theBillboards... more?Something beautiful about them all juxtaposed against the lowering Sunset as the City switch turns on the Night Lights across the Boulevard...

"...I think that I shall never see
A billboard lovely as a tree
And, if, and when, the billboard falls
I'll never see a tree at all..."- Ogden Nash
