It’s hard for me to believe, but as of next week I will have been living in Los Angeles for an entire year. And while I’ve talked a bit about my day to day life here, I haven’t really done a proper guide to the city at large…This city, so sprawling and dynamic, demands far more than just one post but to begin I wanted to spotlight one of my favorite things about living here which is the view. Drastically different depending on where you are, both of the views shown here are within roughly 30 minutes drive from where our home is. Meaning by day you can take in the Pacific ocean, iconic Pier, bustling shopping and distant mountains in Santa Monica. And by night, you can look out across the Hollywood Hills, lights of the city and downtown skyline from the perches of Griffith Park and the accompanying Observatory. There are few other cities in the world that I’ve traveled that offer such opposing views (and relative ways of life), but I’ve come to feel lucky that for the past year I’ve had the chance to take it all in.
