Cahuenga and Sunset.
Late morning, sunny and warming.
Waiting for the bus after a visit to Hollywood’s thriving Sunday morning farmer’s market (not to be confused with L.A.’s landmark Farmer’s Market at Fairfax and 3rd), I noticed raven one approach and circle the CNN building, finally settling in the understructure of a big satellite dish. Raven two arrived soon after. So did my bus.
LaBrea and Sunset.
No sooner off the bus than noticed pair of ravens flying low, seemingly southbound, but as I watched, they worked to gain altitude over Sunset Blvd. and then began soarcling back towards the Santa Monicas.
I unloaded the two fat bags of plunder from the farmer’s market - bison and all sorts of fruit and veg - as I write six days later, I still haven’t finished it it all - anyway, I grabbed the camera, hopped in the car and drove back to the CNN building. Just made it too, since they had hopped down onto the big CNN logo and were getting ready to wing it.
They took off over Sunset (and me) and flew over the landmark Hollywood Athletic Club. More or less the same direction chosen by the other pair only minutes earlier.
I am beginning to feel that there’s a pattern of mid-morning visits to sites along Sunset, but of course my observations are limited by my routines. I will have to hang out more frequently on SB in the afternoon for a while. Thanks to the upscale trend in the area, this won’t be so onerous. I just wish my own stretch of Sunset would succumb to the trend!
