Sunset at The Getty (#15 Revisited)

Cort also indulged my love of The Getty while she was in town.  I didn't haul my big camera to the museum with me and so instead ended up with a lot of fabulous detail pictures.

Cort and the Vexed Man - I'll be requiring anyone who visits to pose with this bust.

Tons of cool close ups in the Impressionist room:

We were sitting in the courtyard people-watching when this group sat down near us and immediately began the snark about passersby.  They were sitting within earshot so I sent Cort this text:

And secretly tried to photograph them and their GIANT phone.  Alas, I did not get a good shot of the phone...although, trust me, it was GIANT!

The tram ride announcements specifically mention looking for fossils in the stone, and I always mean to look, but somehow never actually look.  I stumbled across this one though.

We were also there on a day they were open until 9:00 p.m. and so we got to see the white stone turn to fire in the dying sun.  It was beautiful.
