Once in a while, I like to go
a-wandering downtown into areas people hardly ever really see. This one though, was an accident. I was with some of my fellow photographers when, out of the corner of someone's eye,
these popped into view. Not exactly abandoned; there were some sleeping bags in a corner and
beer (
soda for the underage reader) cans scattered about. There is a certain rustic charm to
old train cars.
As we moved further
north, we found Olvera St. and China Town. The colors are absolutely in-your-face beautiful.
I even liked the un-colored areas...
It's a beautiful place behind all the dirt and smog. The rush of the crowds drowns out the beauty of the
fountains and
park benches and
tiny flowers peaking out through cracks. All in all, I would never want to live there, but I do like the occasional trip.
