The Getty Centre - Los Angeles

Well this is a must see sight for anyone visiting LA. A wicked building. Fantastic architecture in a wicked setting. Lovely gardens. Most of the exterior of the building is made out of a rock called 'Travertine'. You can still see imprints of leaves and fossils on the exterior walls of the building complex.

Instead of me reinventing the wheel here are some websites if you are interested.

One of the more famous pieces of artwork is the painting by Vincent van Gogh called 'Irises'.



On the way home I had a blowout of the rear right tire on the Camry while doing 80 on the 210 Freeway at 10.30pm. Talk about freaky and as for changing it that was darn right scary when cars are ripping past at 80+mph. Quite the experience.
