On the Road is a weekday feature spotlighting reader photo submissions.
From the exotic to the familiar, whether you’re traveling or in your own backyard, we would love to see the world through your eyes.
Good morning all,
We’re once again blessed by Bill’s contribution. Do click his nym and support his art.
After seeing the moonrise from the Baldwin Hills, this morning we’ll see the sunset from Ascot Hills. Ascot Hills is east(technically northeast-east) of downtown LA near Cal State LA. If you drew a line(I did on Google Maps) between the Baldwin Hills and Mt. San Antonio where we saw the moonrise, it would cross the Ascot Hills. The Ascot Hills is two ridges with a valley between them. The east ridge is higher than the western ridge and there’s a reservoir at the northern end of the valley. A racetrack was at the southern end of the ridge to the west that was known for it’s high number of fatal crashes. The park is home to a fair amount of wildlife; I saw a rabbit, two coyotes and an owl.

Opps, I screwed up, there are supposed to be about 6 more shots. If you hit the enter key in some of the fields on the OTR submission form(I think I was in the Location field), it thinks it’s a mouse press on the submit button. I apologize for the truncated post.

@?BillinGlendaleCA: Good composition.

@Baud: Thanks, getting the Sun in the right position was the key.

@?BillinGlendaleCA: It’s a little lopsided. Put a coaster under the right leg.

@?BillinGlendaleCA: The universe must have thought this picture was striking enough that it should be displayed on its own. :-)

Worth standing on its own. Beautiful composition.
Wag
Beautiful, as always. Nice work.

Beautiful. I’m not sure how it works but to me that picture should be entered into a contest. The composition is perfect.

@mrmoshpotato: It’s an old fence, I’m afraid if I did that it’d fall down.
@WaterGirl: And I didn’t even add the comment for the pic:
@arrieve: Thanks, there are some good ones in the rest of the full set.
@Wag: Thanks
@JPL: Thanks, I’ve entered one of my shots in the local Auto Club contest(a sunset shot in Joshua Tree), but they usually have a theme and some restrictions on processing(that shot is a bracketed HDR shot).

Sweet, as usual !!
