GRIFFITH OBSERVATORY, LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA

This is my electronic photo album on the Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles, California. Griffith Observatory's unique architecture and setting, compelling programmatic offerings, and cinematic exposure have made it one of the most famous and visited landmarks in Southern California. 

Tens of millions have come to walk the interior of the building, view the planetarium shows, or simply gaze out towards the coast and the heavens. This cultural and scientific icon owes its existence to the dream of one man, Griffith Jenkins Griffith, and to the dedicated scientists and volunteers who worked to fulfill his vision of making astronomy and observation accessible to all.

In 2010, Griffith Observatory celebrated 75 years of public service to the people of the City of Los Angeles, the State of California and the world.













































Thank you for visiting my photo blog. There are so many California tourist attractions, it’s hard to know where to begin. From Sea World-San Diego in the south to majestic Mt. Shasta near its northern border, California is without a doubt a vacationer’s paradise. I hope that my photos have given you a glimpse of the immense beauty and wonder of the Golden State.
