I am in LA

I am in Los Angeles for the PDC. Today I visited downtown. Tomorrow I am going to the pre-conference on concurrent multi-core programming on Windows and .NET. Here are some photos from downtown LA (click to see higher resolution).

	It is a big country. Everything is really big. For example this advertising for a film fills a complete hotel. The film wasn’t even shown in the movie theatres, it is now released direct to DVD.
	This is Los Angeles first fire engine. It was drawn by horses.
	The modern version. Today I saw many of them parked throughout the city, I am not sure why.
	Walt Disney concert hall, looks like a space station.
	Los Angeles City Hall, seat of the Daily Planet in Superman, destroyed in the war of the worlds by mars men.
	Union station
	Union station, interior. Also used in films as it still looks like 1939. In the waiting room they have sofas instead of chairs.
	Entrance to China town metro station
	Famous restaurant in China town
	Grand central market
	LAPD police car
	Problem and solution (America is going green?)
	Angelus plaza with skyscrapers in the background.
	More sky scrapers
	Sky scraper reflection
	Even more sky scrapers
