A view East from the Front of the Reagan Library. No, I did not personally test the accuracy of the sign. :shock:
Love the new Hoya CP.

Thanks guys. I'll see if I have a better view of the valley. I did get a chuckle out of the sign.

wouldn't it be a cool shot if you could have the sign, the bench and a rattlesnake underneat it?? I read somewhere that they only bite ya if there threatened and they don't bite above the ankle.... atleast that's the excuse i'd give my family for even considering taking a photo of one. Funny, my uncles always tell me I lack common sense.....Sari.

Great view. I would not venture out to find one of the residents of that area.

The Santa Monica Mountains there are loaded with rattlers. I've encountered plenty of them, though not right there at the Reagan Library. The view from there is sure nice, though.

Great composition Skip. A bit tight on the left, though (IMO)

Great capture Skip, I love the way the mountain range in the background is well done. Of course had you ventured into snake territory you would have had a complety different perspective of the view. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: I wonder how many people ignore or don't even see that sign?
