Wednesday morning, on my way to a 12 noon Dodger game vs the Cubs
110 Fwy Northbound, from Bishop Rd, just before I enter the walkway
The walkway on the 110 fwy heading north against southbound traffic
The view looking toward Downtown. If I make a mad dash across the fwy, I've got a shortcut to the Dodger game !!!!
OK, the ivy makes this segment of the walkway a little more attractive. Fitting I should be mentioning ivy because the Dodgers are playing the Cubs on this day. As many of you baseball fans know, the Cubs home, Wrigley Field, is known for it's ivy that sprouts along it's famed brick outfield walls
At the bottom of Solano Canyon
Solano Canyon's nature
LAPD on Academy Rd, across from the Academy. Behind, our skyline, and that massive hunk of pavement, known to many of us as the Dodger Stadium parking lot
Allright, time to train with cadets Mahoney and Hightower !!!!
Brunch with L.A's finest
View from atop the Police Academy, about 30 minutes before game time.
Cubs pitcher Carlos Zambrano, during the National Anthem. He would pitch 8 strong innings in beating our Boys in Blue 5-1
View from behind home plate
Dodger Right Fielder Jay Gibbons ( Where's Dre ? ) Ethier had a sore shoulder on this day
It's Kerry Wood, former ace of the Cubs
Solano Canyon from the Solano Ave exit
Trying to envision Solano Canyon back in it's day
ALLRIGHT !!! BACK ON THE WALKWAY, heading north, again facing southbound traffic ( Traffic really is a way of life here in L.A., isn't it ? )
A view of the L.A. River looking south, just past the 3rd of 3 tunnels from downtown on the 110 norhtbound.
Look at that, no traffic !!!
A southbound gold line train
An MTA bus, line 81, heading north toward Eagle Rock Plaza. This pic is taken from a spiral staircase at the hairpin turn junction of the 5 and 110 freeways Speaking of that staircase...
Here's a view from the bottom of the staircase, looking onward at the 110/5 hairpin turn. Here's a flickr link to an old pic of that staircase, taken I'm guessing sometime in the 70's
From the staircase, not only are you up close to the freeway, but you're right on top of both the L.A. River and the tracks that run through
Some of L.A.'s finest artists have also passed through here. Above this bridge along the fence is the continuation of the walkway along the northbound side of the 110
HEY, THERE'S MY BUS !!! If I did not tell you all I was on a walkway, you might think I was taking some of these pics on the left shoulder of the freeway
OK, end of the road. Of course that MTA bus passes me up again
Wanna see more of my pics ? Here's the link to the full album. Where in L.A. will Drei's trail be next ? And they say Nobody Walks In L.A.
