This grape vine can be found on Olvera Street, Los Angeles. There is still some nice color here, even in mid-January. The purple grapes and colorful leaves are striking against this little blue building.
I photographed this Peruvian musician yesterday in Los Angeles on Olvera Street. We often hear the music of the Andes by these artists in and around the Los Angeles and desert areas of southern California.
This little Catholic church is in the historic part of Los Angeles adjacent to Olvera Street. It is the oldest church in Los Angeles and still very active today. My picture of the church is, unfortunately, lop-sided...a problem I have to work on with my photography. But the little walk-way on the right leads into a beautiful little plaza covered with a rippled canopy. The shadows are awesome in there. A mother was escorting her little daughter inside to a baptism that afternoon.
