LoftlivingLA: Rooftop Viewby ~myownself

Photography / Architecture / Exterior

1800 sq ft of light and space.
50 yards from Skid Row and police station.
Rat infested basement and bums camping right outside.
Resonant stairwells and the freight elevator.
Omnipresent smell of urine and no ac.
Most stunning rooftop view.
Loud fridge and gun shots at night.

Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam,
Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home.
John Howard Payne

I'm in heaven here.

I am a sucker for cityscapes! I don't like living in the city, as I would rather live far away, but in view of it! It is a weakness. . .

fabulous and striking........a great perfection! I love everything about this photo, from the center all the way out to the edge.

great! Everything about it, your words make the work much more strong and complete.

It's an excellent vision, makes me a little homesick for a similar view I once had...

I love it!!

Outside of the satelite dish & modern skyscrappers, this image has the look & feel of a stagnant movie backdrop circa late 1940's & 1950's. Great comment, btw! Really paints a wonder picture in itself. I haven't been through skid row in a few years, but I know the area well!

+Asya, with this outside and that inside, you really can't complain.
i like your cityscapes, your vision just pervades objective, optical representation. that is not what i would see. nor anyone else.+
