The Getty Museum

Chantal has been here in California for a while. On Tuesday, we went to the Getty Museum here in Los Angeles. It's situated on top of two hills and you have to take a little train up to the top.

We took two tours while there: one showing the museums best pieces and the other explaining the architecture.

This is a picture of one of the buildings from the garden. The trees below are in a perfect line. If you stand directly in front of them it looks as if there is only one tree.











Above is a wood carving of a monk that was painted to look real. Below are a couple pictures of the garden. The bougainvillea trees are created using rebar frames that work as a lattice for the plants to climb.

  1. Cool pictures. Glad that you and Chantal hooked up a little bit while she was in Cali. Sounds like you guys had a good time. :)
