Visiting it on my first day in L.A., under steely skies characteristic of southern California&#8217;s June gloom, I wandered around the grounds, hiking along nearby trails while viewing the observatory itself from a distance. I returned on the following day to satisfy the nagging sensation that I&#8217;d had only a glimpse of the observatory and hadn&#8217;t really experienced it yet.<\/p>\n<p>On the second day I lucked out. The sun cut through the early morning cloud cover like a knife, revealing some of the bluest skies I&#8217;d seen during my visit to L.A. The bright, warm SoCal sun shone down on the impressive building, throwing its architectural details into stark relief.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll admit it: <strong>I went a little camera crazy, wanting to capture everything.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As an armchair architecture enthusiast, I was drawn to the intricacies of the observatory&#8217;s art deco style. The subtle tension between curve and line, disrupting familiar expectations. Twelve-sided\u00a0door panels, clock-like, echoing the circular and linear properties of time. Gentle arches carved into buttresses. \u00a0The twin copper tile-topped domes of the observatory&#8217;s telescopes, turned a dark, earthy green. And more than anything, the symmetry of it all.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>What a gem.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Have you been to Griffith Observatory?
