Fanfare For One
Posted by Bettina (Los Angeles, United States) on 28 January 2012 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio.
Downtown passing by the Music Center fountain. The water makes a dramatic backdrop, and this woman was posing for her friends who were taking pictures. So I pretended to be one of them...

One does not think of a fountain being a 'blaze' but this one sure hits the mark !
