Saturday evenings after 5pm The Getty's $15 parking fee is waived and they are open until 9pm- so obviously that means I was there. As much as I love the location and architecture of The Getty, as someone who actually knows their art, I find I am almost a little disappointed in their collection. A few pretty things, but nothing of real note. And their temporary exhibits are always kind of...eh. (read: I am spoiled from the New York & European museums)
But I did enjoy their current photography exhibit featuring Felice Beato. Really enchanting images from when Japan and China were closed to foreigners and photos from a colonized India. Just incredible buildings and people you only read about in text books.
It was just nice to wander amongst the pretty buildings filled with drawings, statues, and photos. Too bad they don't allow photography inside and it was dark out...
Just some snippets...
Love those changing leaves.
More adventures to come,

PS: Currently snuggled in with these two doggie love bugs watching the Constant Gardener and drinking alone. Might bake some cookies. Yep, 25 and single.
