(Day 246) - The Grandeur of Urban Light

CJ and I stopped by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art to pay a visit to it's most famous installation, Urban Light by Chris Burden. We took a photo of it about two years ago. This time CJ wanted a shot from the front.

It features 202 restored street lamps from around the 1920s that were once located in Los Angeles and adjacent cities. They're packed tightly together to create a sculpture that reminds one of seeing and walking through Greek or Roman architecture. Seeing it from CJ's perspective really adds to the grandeur. 💡😄
Wonderful image!!

Fabulous photo idea! There's quite a contrast in size between the photographer and his subject.

So pretty and it reminds me of the single street lampposts we had on our street, along with palm trees, in Pacific Palisades where I grew up and lived for my first 28 years. The lamp is hiding behind the palm.
