Griffith Observatory with Laura

Laura and I stood on the front steps of Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles in February 2024, with the name spelled out across the white wall over the doorway behind us. The big bronze doors were open, and a banner for a show called Signs of Life hung above them. It was mid afternoon, around 58, with a clear sky and a light breeze.

The building is all white walls and geometric trim, with wide stairs and railings leading up to the entrance and a few spiky plants in planters on either side. Earlier that afternoon we had been in Beverly Hills by the giant red heart.
