for those who might think that Los Angeles is nothing but urban sprawl


... a boring photograph, yes, in and of itself ... but it's from Griffith Park, looking down onto our house.  Find that white clump of buildings, more or less dead central - then go very, very slightly to the right of them - next house along - and ours is the ochre building, trying to pretend that it's in Tuscany.  

Actually, the photograph that should have been here turned out surprisingly out of focus - an LAPD officer patrolling incognito - at least, not in uniform, and on his cell phone - on a chestnut horse.  Only it's hard to be incognito, really, when your saddlery is all stamped LAPD (and no, I checked - city ordinances prohibit selling any police equipment, so I guess this wasn't second hand tack).  The police stables are just down in Atwater Village.
