July 16-17th 2005 - Los Angeles

I went with some friends to Los Angeles to do some touristy things for a weekend. I didn't take many pictures, and despite the apparent abundance of pictures from the universal studios studio tour, I missed many sights.

There are movies associated with this collection.

More flintstones. It's impossible to get a sense of scale from this picture, isn't it?

Doesn't this sculpture look like a catching mitt? (or the end of a lacrosse stick?)
