House Arrest

House Arrest, a photo by Tony DeSantis Photography on Flickr.

First trip to LA this morning. It won't be my last. Yeah I know, I went to LA and I got a photo of a window how strange is that? I really didn't want to capture the usual LA buildings, freeway with streaming car lights. I was looking for something different. I am sure I really didn't need to go to LA to capture this, but none the less I did.
It is different when you go some place for the first time. It takes you a while to get your feet wet and find your way around. Sunday morning is a great morning to head on down. The streets are empty Parking and crowds are not an issue. I really look forward to going back many more times.

Thanks for taking checking this out. If you are here leave a comment!
