Los Angeles, California, USA
Downtown Los Angeles, California, USA
The San Gabriel Mountains dusted with snow acting as a backdrop to downtown Los Angeles.
It is said to be a rare sight to see and is a little different from the usual view of LA... the home of 'Hollywood' USA.
This unusual view of Los Angeles was sent in my our own 'personal correspondent' at large... my friend Ropa, to whom I am very grateful... and wish him and his wife well on their travels and for supporting my little venture with this blog. Many thanks Ropa and Mrs R!
