Yesterday around 5pm, I was driving back to L.A. from Pasadena. It was raining, cars were going slow. It wasn't anything too crazy. What was more crazy was the lighting. The sun that was piercing through the storm clouds. My cousin said it looked as if the world was going to end. The light was surreal, the tones changed as we went from the 210 to the 134 and 2 freeways. I thought it was beautiful. The hills were green and the houses in eagle rock looked majestic. Definitely a sight you do not see on a daily basis. Unfortunately since I was in the driver seat sans camera, I don't have the photos to match my description.
But I made sure my passengers tried their best to capture the rare Los Angeles moment via iPhone and blackberry. On one side we saw this:
And on the other this:
Two weeks ago, when it rained for an entire week, a hail storm passed through Mid City. Now that I was able to capture. Another rare and beautiful moment in L.A.
After watching it from my window for 2 minutes I grabbed my camera and ran outside. I felt like a kid witnessing snow fall for the first time. Except it was hail. My mom came out and joined me.
Enjoy today's sunshine =)
