I went back to LA for a visit last August. I got up very early one morning, before the people came out to play, (6am) and walked along the Venice Beach Boardwalk ~ Ocean Front Walk. Besides the bliss of just being there, I was thrilled to come across some beautiful art I'd not seen before because I'm usually there when it's crowded. It was really incredible being almost the only one there as Venice Beach slowly awakened from a cool, quiet day bathed in a lingering fog, to a beautifully warm sunny blue sky day bustling with an eclectic mix of beings!A beautiful tile mural in the entryway of Venice Suites at 417 Ocean Front Walk, surprised me as I began my walk from the Santa Monica side of Venice Beach to the far side near the Pier (with cool restaurants nearby on ..... street) which I can't believe I'd never walked to in the many years I'd lived in LA!

I was also very excited to gaze upon wonderful murals painted on Venice Horizon Suites (15 Horizon Ave & Speedway).A Magical Masquerade Party Happening!
Visit my Venice Beach gallery, which I keep uploading with the photos I shot from the two days I visited during my recent too-short stay in the area. My gallery
also has some images taken when I lived there, but most of those (late 80's) were shot with film, and are sitting in boxes waiting for that one day when I'll scan them in . . . maybe
