Los Angeles from the 1st Street Bridge over LA River.


I drove out to this location and waited for the sun to go down behind the city, I was planning on getting a shot of Downtown LA skyline, but once I found this location I thought it would be more interesting to get the perspective of the street leading up to the city. After a while of planning I saw a metro train roll by and decided I would wait for the next train which run pretty often at the 6:00pm to 8:00pm hours. I was hoping to get a shot of the moving train with the sun setting behind the city.
