A couple of days before we came back to LA, our house sitter sent us an alarming account of what had just happened in the street: a great screeching of tires; a big bang; the arrival of fire and ambulance crews ... We have a bend - quite a sharp bend - on the hill outside the house, and it looks as though a car was going too fast to see or navigate it, went straight ahead, demolished the wall that these railings were sitting on, dented the railings, and made quite a large hole in the house wall itself, which is next-door-but-one. None of us know whether the car driver and any passengers were ok (there was nothing in the press, on Nextdoor, etc), and the inhabitants of the house itself were out of town.
But you'd think it would be mended by now, wouldn't you? Maybe they're waiting for insurance money, but ... I've seen a workman there once or twice, doing nothing in particular, but in the meantime, the late afternoon shadows are quite fetching.
