Griffith Observatory

We visited the Griffith Observatory this weekend.

A trolley for transportation can be use if you are parked too far down and don't want to walk.
We did not use it. It was a beautiful walk up to the obsrvatory and our car was not that far down.





View toward the mountains



The Holywood sign!

View of Los Angeles. This picture does not show it well, but the view was clear to the ocean. Was a great blue sky day!

Sitting with my friend Einstein. Einstein is holding up his finder to cover a
very small part of the night sky. The wall that he is facing is a very large picture,
floor to ceiling, showing the stars and galaxys by the thousands that would be
covered by Einstein's finger. Sorry, no peicture of the wall exhibit. The picture of the wall I took did not turned out well at all.

When it got dark we were able to view through this telescope. I think this was the highlight of the day for Gordon. His telescope at home is not this powerful.
