- Plane Hopping and Foxtrot
When wild jackrabbits roamed the fields of LAX. (Los Angeles Times)* From time to time passengers in giant air liners are amused when giant jacks race the plane on take-off. Until now, none of the rabbits has left the ground. I’m reminded of all the rabbits we used to see near UCI in the 90s, […]
- LAX “Snow,” Evening Edition
Snow has arrived at LAX for the season. Well, the only kind of snow it gets, anyway.
- Artoo Has Been In Low Power Mode
Sign spotted near LAX. Update: Replaced with a clearer photo. The original one was backlit during late afternoon.
- SnorLAX
The kid watched the Snorlax episode of the original Pokémon cartoon around the same time I managed to catch one in Pokémon Go, and we had a conversation about text-to-speech on GPS navigation getting tripped up and telling me to take an exit “toward Lax Airport.” Oh, and something I didn’t mention when I posted […]
- This is the most snow LAX ever sees!
Seriously, it hasn’t snowed in the Los Angeles basin since 1962. We get snow in the mountains most years. And the San Fernando Valley apparently got a snowstorm in 1989. But the coast? Basically never.
- LAX(mas) Snow
Even in sunny Los Angeles, snowflakes symbolize Christmas and winter. It snows here, what, once every 100 years? (And we’re likely to wait even longer in the future.)
- Moonrise
The full moon hung low in the east, rising pale yellow against a shadowed sky. A cluster of lights floated next to it, airplanes lining up for approach to the runway I was driving past. I’d glanced over just as I passed under their flight path. Above the moon and the lights, a band of […]

So I end up going to two fast food places and two cafes, over and over again. […]
- Escape from LA(X)
The spillover from today’s LAX shooting: helicopters hovering, roads closed, travelers hiking miles on foot with their luggage to get away from the airport.

- Watching Endeavour’s Final Flight Through LA
Half of the people at my office turned out to watch the space shuttle’s final flight around Los Angeles.
- Orange Sunset & Double Rainbow Over LA (Photos)
We’ve had a couple of storms run through Los Angeles over the past week. Last Friday, I went up to the top of a parking structure after work to look at the clouds, and stayed to watch a double rainbow and the play of light at sunset.
- The Late Train
I haven’t really kept up with the photoblog since moving a few months ago. I’ll try to get back on track with a new post each week. This is Aviation Station along the Los Angeles Metro Green Line, the closest station to LAX. (It doesn’t actually stop at the airport, but you can take a […]
