Futuristic architecture notwithstanding, I feel as though I&#8217;ve stepped from my time into another more enlightened era.<\/p>\n<p>The Getty Center is simply incredible. Home to one location of \u00a0<a title=\"The J. Paul Getty Museum\" href=\"http:\/\/getty.edu\/museum\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The J. Paul Getty Museum<\/a> and its extensive collection of paintings, drawings, photgraphs, and other artwork from both Europe and the Americas, \u00a0it is as though each element of the campus was deliberately designed to defy reality and inspire awe.<\/p>\n<p>The tram escorting visitors from the parking garage below to the hilltop. The soft pink gleam of sunlight illuminating the earthy stone buildings. The impeccably manicured lawns and gardens. The central pond with its labyrinthine landscaping anchoring the idyllic scene. The stunning view over the city and beyond to the Pacific Ocean. Each and every component seems engineered to render speech superfluous.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Words cannot do this Utopian oasis justice<\/strong>. I&#8217;m uncertain that the finest photographs could.
