Location for Night Photography in Los Angeles downtown area?

[OptionX3]

Looking for a good place for night photography near Los Angeles downtown area. Willing to travel 5-10mile radius also, nothing specific, anything interesting. Maybe perhaps downtown over look, over pass with passing traffic long exposures. Ground level lookingup high rises. Open to any suggestion.
Wanting to try out my Sigma 10-20mm, and canon 55-250mm, 50mm etc. Post samples if you have em'

thanks! :cool:

Just east of city hall has an overhead walkway.
Many take shots from overhead passed over the 110 fwy from downtown as well. I think there is on where Wilshire Blvd starts just off of 110 fwy.

The first photo is one that I apparently was not allowed to take. I wonder what would have happened if I had said, "But I'm a loyal Citibank customer!"
The second photo was tactfully captured from the other side of the street to avoid complications.

I have been meaning to take a shot form that bridge for a while now (I have just been waiting for some dramatic clouds).
