Reach for the sky

A Los Angeles skyscraper on Wilshire Boulevard's "Miracle Mile."
The Miracle Mile refers to the economic power of this area,
but I find it astounding to put buildings like this
in a known earthquake zone
and across the street from the La Brea Tar Pits
where pools of oil ooze into the Boulevard.

0.00s full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Love the signature palm trees and the starburst.

These buildings have been built to withstand earthquakes. I hope, however, that they're not put to the test anytime soon. A subway is now in the process of being built which will go down Wilshire Blvd., virtually at the base of this building, despite the tar and methane gas that lurks below the ground from the Tar Pits. I hope the engineers have it figured out!!
