A very merry DWP Christmas

Last night, I walked in 48 degree weather (YES! I KNOW! 48 degrees in LA means Death!) through a uniquely Angelino experience. The LA Department of Water and Power Festival of Lights. I must say, it was a damn treat, and made me proud to be an Angelino. Check it out:

Did You know that? A hunnerd years! In LA years that's like a gazillion years.
NO, THAT"S NOT SNOW! I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THAT IS.

LAX-cellent! Note the plane, it "Moves".

The Port of Los Angeles, with seawater that glows!

Griffith Park Observatory, where even Poppa Smurf has to wait in an endless line to see a star.

Surf's up! This is the bacterial infection and drainage display.

This is either Muscle Beach in Venice or 24 Hour fitness in West Hollywood, we weren't quite sure.

Speaking of which, our schlonggy city hall made more schlonggy by my inability to rotate before uploading.

William Mulholland (Two gazillion LA Years Old), and the LA aqueduct. Yes, that is human waste floating at the top left hand side of the aqueduct.

The Staples Center, with the Kings. No, there's no room for Kobe this Christmas. Near butt rape disqulaifies you from the display. Sorry.

And finally a Fuel Cell. With the Words "Fuel Cell" all lit up. Ahaha..ha. herm..hmm. DWP humor.

You can see all of this Live with music every night untill A non religious date after Christmas, from 4 Pm- to 10 Pm, somewhere by the Zoo. Just look for the annoyed coyotes.

Nice photos. There's also that nasty history of California's legislators back in the 30s or 40s muscling up other legislators from Rocky Mountain states in order to divert valuable water resources away from other states like Colorado and Wyoming.
