Today I drove 4 one-half hours roundtrip to Los Angeles for two hours of work. What the heck, I have to pay for all that camera equipment somehow. ;)

Navigating the labyrinth of Los Angeles area freeways is always a daunting venture. It does have its joys as well as its traffic jams.

Upper left here shows the Chino hills at I drove north toward Corona wondering why the brand new freeway was stop and go. Upper right shows why. The California Department of Forestry was using a crew to clear the brush from the shoulder. We do get fires here you know.

Then the biggest pain was CA 60 West into Covina. Lower left shows a little accident that backed up eastbound traffic for at least 10 miles, while on my westbound side gawkers (this doesn’t count us photographers) dropped our speeds to below 10 mph.

Finally (lower right) on the way home tonight heading south on I - 15 I caught my favorite bridge spanning the interstate. When I see it, I know I’m only 20 minutes from home.
