Sunrise over the Los Angeles basin, viewed from Mulholland Drive. This scenic overlook provides a vantage point for observing the sprawling urban environment, including the downtown Los Angeles skyline and the Hollywood Hills. Mulholland Drive itself, completed in 1924, was designed as a scenic parkway to offer panoramic views of the city and the Pacific Ocean, becoming a significant element of Los Angeles's mid-century development and its car-centric culture.

Photo taken in November 2011.
