Hollywood for Texans

Just Above Sunset

January 8, 2006 - Hollywood for Texans

Thursday, January 5^th, Hollywood was filled with Texans. The Texas Longhorns had won the Rose Bowl, beating the USC Trojans the night before, to become the best in college football, if you follow such things. And it seems rather than returning to the Lone Star State the next morning, their fans took in the local sights – Hollywood, Universal City, and that sort of thing. They were everywhere in their longhorn t-shirts with their cameras, trying to figure out this place.

Here's what they saw.

From up on Mulholland Drive, the view of Hollywood, being covered by the local news –

Local news star prepares his script –

He sees the Hollywood Bowl to downtown, with the Hollywood freeway –

To the left, snow-covered mountains, as it always snows in Los Angeles (the county) in the winter –

Far below, downtown Hollywood –

And the motto of this town – MORE –

Los Angeles itself in the distance –

Further up Mulholland you can look down on Universal City with its theme park and sound stages –

Movies and television are big business -

And from the overlook you can make out Warner Brothers Studios in the distance –

But don't expect to see much at night –

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

There is a copyright notice at the bottom of this page, of course.

These were shot with a Nikon D70 – lens AF-5 Nikor 18-70mm 1:35-4.5G ED or AF Nikor 70-300mm telephoto.

They were modified for web posting using Adobe Photoshop 7.0
