View from a Stalled Vehicle

Oy, today did not start out well. My work day had barely begun, when my car died...in traffic. Luckily traffic wasn't too terribly heavy, or I would have been causing a royal mess.
As I was calling for a tow truck, a co-worker drove by, then popped a u-turn and came back to investigate. He kindly pushed me out of traffic where I then sat for about 1/2 hour waiting for the aforementioned tow truck. Not much to do while sitting there, so I pulled out my camera. Yeah, this was my view from a stalled car.

Good things?
It was a work vehicle, not my own, so I didn't have to pay for tow, nor the repairs. AND I was on the clock, so I got paid.
Like this one, its enchanting wherever it is

Downtown Los Angeles, one block from the county jail.

So much to like in this shot; the plane, the clouds, the lamps and the silhouetted palms. Also the pastel shades. Fav. for me.

Really more good news in this photo than bad. Best of all you have a kind coworker! It was not your car, the traffic was not bad, it was not totally dark, and you got a picture. Glad you are ok!

Just lovely. Way to pull something great out of a less than pleasant situation! Nice composition, the jet plane makes the shot.

@webfoot I see that you don't read the complete narrative. LOL
It was not my car, it was a WORK vehicle. Thank goodness! Ive spent enough on repairs on my own car.

I read the entire narrative, just don't process everything the first time through.
