Artist's Comments

"City of Gold" is Los Angeles. I hiked up to the top of Mt. Hollywood, 1733 foot altitude, last night at 8 PM in the dark and took some time-lapse photographs of Los Angeles on a rare clear night. I melded the photos together to make a panorama. I love skyscrapers and cityscapes. At the bottom center, you can see the Observatory.

The zig zag of lights on the left is the Hollywood Freeway.
The three main streets you see going into the background are Vermont, Virgil, and Western. The hill on the top right is Pacific Palisades.

22,622 megawatts of power delivered by SCE July 21, 2007.
5,867 megawatts of power delivered by DWP July 21, 2007.
One megawatt equals 1 million watts, enough to supply power for about 650 homes.

Nice job capturing the endless sprawl of LA.
:iconandyserrano:
I appreciate the compliment. In order to really capture the sprawl of L.A., I'd probably have to be 100 miles up in space. This is only a fraction. This place is massive!
