I dislike a large crowd… Well, actually I have no problem with a large number of people gathered together, as long as I’m not around- It was pretty warm in NYC today, so there were more people outside than usual. I was running around to different appointments, and errands. All while trying to avoid people, so they wouldn’t body slam me. Everyone is always in such a rush. The two minute red traffic light, is too much of a wait… Not only was I tired, but I was annoyed out of my mind. I felt over stimulated. I stopped at the red traffic light, and looked up for half a second. It took me that short of a time to notice this.
I did a double take, and the first thing that came to mind, was stairway to heaven. Except the stairs were air conditioners. I stared at the sky for a few more minutes, and then I reach for my phone, and took a few pictures.
I was calm.

I feel the same way about LA. People can be pretty angry in traffic. Every so often I will be at a light or stop sign.. take a look around and catch the mountain view on a clear day and think.. “oh.. that’s why I live here.”
As much as I dislike crowds, and the traffic, don’t think I could trade it and move back to Florida.

Ahhh! you get it.
Yeah, I guess the city is more exciting to most. Me on the other hand, would go live in Florida right now.

What kind of phone do you have that takes such good pics? My phone photos are never that clear. (Of course, it could be the photographer
