Cadillac cruisin the canals of Venice Beach through the dancing drama of Downtown towers and twistin the trail of Mulholland Drive reveals the eclectic cocktail of architectural style and colour from under the spell of opportunity cast by the ubiquitous Hollywood sign.Hidden amongst the tinsel town display of fame and fortune can be found anomalies of polity pandering to the desires of cultural angst, tucked discretely in the foothills of Griffith Park at the rear of Mount Sinai Memorial fields cemetery, close to the Hall of Liberty, is a display of concrete recreations dedicated to Meso-American history. We have a similar scenario in the small English town of Brighton, a memorial dedicated to the Gurkhas of WWII, hidden in the hills of the Sussex Downs.
Out of this craziness come two good events; a couple of fun photos including the unexpected refraction of sunlight on the head of a Mayan king statue, but more importantly the meeting of new compadres, namely, one Darren Trenchard, an artist painting his way through the urban sprawl and now into your homes via the virtual link newly added to my list of sites to surf.
