If you've never been here before, this may look like an alien spaceship scene from "Close Encounters of the Third Kind."
However, if you've had occasion to travel in or out of LAX at night, it's instantly recognizable.
This futuristic structure is the flight control center at Los Angeles International Airport, and is
situated at the hub of the complex with the passenger terminal buildings surrounding it in a semi-circle.
Every few minutes the color of the lighting changes, although the central "command pod" remains a irridescent blue. Quite captivating!
I took this long-exposure shot by propping the Uzi on a fencepost and waiting for a "hole" in the traffic streaming past.
I also took some showing headlight/taillight streaks of passing cars, but preferred this.
