Below, pirates hiding in the flowers on Sunset at sunset.  Note - when the fellow on the left isn't living in the south of France with his wife, Vanessa Paradis (the French singer and actress) and their two kids, the four of them live in an old mansion just six blocks east of this billboard, just above Sunset, at Sweetzer.  It's gated, and behind a lot of trees.  No pictures.  More on him, and the French business, Monday, June 19, 2006, here.

And all roads lead to Hollywood.  Hollywood Boulevard at Orange, looking south at the entrance to The Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, in deep shadow, in the early afternoon of Friday, June 16, 2006.

If you use any of these photos for commercial purposes I assume you'll discuss that with me
