merry-go-round park. lots of foilage. |
From 1912 to 1965, bears and lions and monkeys were at griffith park. |
i found out about the old zoo grounds from a magazine. |
a wooded area. |
rock steps. |
monkey cages (?) |
maybe the lion's den. |
some moron was exploring the place. imagine if the lions were still there - he'd be gook meat. |
the view of a caged animal. |
dungeon stairs. |
planet of the apes might've been filmed here. |
grass and a mountain in background |
more cages. maybe for owls. |
water stream. |
pretty quiet day at griffith. |
man-made river, maybe. |
took a detour and got a closer shot of mountain. |
glendale. once home to gabriella indians, now the headquarters of armenians. |
glendale: largest population of armenians in U.S |
golf course. ace in the hole. |
hollywood. then, koreatown. |
more l.a. |
downtown. |
it took about 25 min. to get to the top. this is the view. i jogged most of it. |
L.A. did not make list of most polluted cities. china, india, peru, and zimbabwe made the cut. |
the trail going down. |
glendale galleria: july 3, 1991, terminator 2 was released to much fanfare. part of the film took place at the galleria. the movie lived up to the hype. |
running up the trail. this particular part was pretty grueling, as it was a steep slope. |
