Going Downtown

Grand Park from the Stanley Mosk Courthouse
Los Angeles, California

Hello Everyone:

Blogger was becoming quite annoyed with the way human typist was saving all these photographs on the trusty iPhone.  Blogger's biggest complaint was that they were taking up too much valuable memory.  As part of human typist's goals for the year, she promised to share some of the pictures and send the rest into Google photo archives.  Here are the images from human typist's jury duty day.

Enjoying a relatively nice day in the park

The weather was mostly cooperative, albeit cold.  Human typist is such a delicate creature that she freezes when the temperature drops below 70 degrees.

Spectacular

Love this picture of the park fountain with two Los Angeles landmarks in the background: the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, designed by Welton Becket (1962-4) and the Department of Water and Power Building, designed by the firm Albert C. Martin and Associates (1965)

A few of Blogger's fellow prospective jurors wondering how much longer will they have to remain in judicial purgatory.

George Washington was said to have never told a lie.  A few alternative facts maybe but never a lie.

Christopher Columbus

"In 1492, Christopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue" and landed in the Dominican Republic, a wee bit south of North America.

Another day, another picture.  This one was taken from the public entrance to Los Angeles's City Hall.  Over to the left is the Walt Disney Concert Hall by Frank Gehry (2003)
