The Getty...



We braved the L.A. traffic once again yesterday to visit the incredible Getty Museum. Arriving in the late afternoon, we focused initially on the temporary exhibits, before migrating to the permanent collection. The variety of artwork was astounding, from baroque statues and nature sketches to paintings and photographs. Eventually we found ourselves in the central garden, which was full of colorful flowers, living mazes, and interesting water features. As the day faded into twilight, we marveled at the transformation of the city below. A sea of twinkly lights replaced the hazy horizon. It was stunning, a word that I have never used before to describe L.A. What a wonderful surprise.
