Hey, Alex! I just found your Substack through my recommendations! I also subscribed to your Pedestrian newsletter, but have been enjoying reading your thoughts and experiences through Los Angeles, as well as your photographs. I don't live in LA, but it's one of my favourite cities, and was last there around Christmas, when I did some of the same parts of Griffith Park you did, including one early evening in thick fog at the observatory. I liked this post because it really highlights how you can never really be bored with Los Angeles -- it's a city of so many contrasts and contradictions that once you get bored of one thing, there's quickly something wildly different nearby. I normally do a lot of walking when I visit cities, as I think it's the best way to learn about them, but this past time in LA I did a lot of driving to cover more area. Your posts have got me thinking about planning a return and ditching the car to walk all day and get into the nitty-gritty of the city.
