Pink LA - Two


Pink LA was among my first posts. It wasn't until my return after a brief hiatus from this town that I realized what separated our city from the others was how we embraced the color pink! I've been collecting "pink" photographs but decided to post only the pink I encountered today - and this was just what stood out returning from a lunch with friends. Imagine if I had actually scavenged the city? If you had to assign a color to your city, what would it be? (and try not to say "greige"!)

 A favorite color combo...
 Banksy Street Art on La Brea
Apartment building
 Art Deco Movie Theater on La Brea
 Skateboard Ad
 Pink Elephant sees to it that my bar is always stocked
 Pink Pig perched atop the Capitol Records Building marks the re-issue of Pink Floyd's 14 studio albums

Here's a fun little way to spend your Sunday: 

Think of a color that best represents your city and then go on a photo scavenger hunt and see how many shots you come up with to support your idea! If you do a post about it send me the link and I will post it!

Ahh, love this! Just back from Paris where I was thinking about how PINK the parks were with all the PINK flowers out. That said, I think LA is PINKER!!

I love the Street art, so inspiring. There is a lot of pink in LA, indeed. We do have in France a city called that way: Toulouse, "the pink city" (no idea why though). As for Bordeaux, I actually do not know. I'll definitely think about it and go on a scavenger hunt with my camera !!

nice pink photo - finds!
I should say that my city is grey but I would be wrong-green is the right word (except of winter)

Great post! I lived in LA for years, too. I must say I don't miss it but your photos celebrate it in a happy way.

Thanks again for stopping by Paris By Two!

thank you for posting the pic of the awesome pink pig on the top of the Capitol records bldg!! I was in LA those days and took 4 pics of it too - I love pigs and this one greeted me when I moved to Hollywood. :-) Thank you for sharing pictures that remind me those days in LA...nostalgic.
