Photo Dump, Part 1: Indiana

All right, I really need to post about my last two trips before I take the next two, otherwise I'll be 4 behind and ain't nobody got time for dat, right? So here's Indiana for your viewing enjoyment.

So I flew out on a Wednesday morning, and touched down in Indianapolis around lunchtime. I'd decided to spend the afternoon down around Nashville (Indiana, not Tennessee), about an hour south of Indy. Specifically, Brown County State Park, which looked like a nice place to explore. And it was awesome--it would have been awesome any time of year, I'm sure, but I was fortunate enough to be there for some utterly spectacular fall color. The main road through the park winds through forest and ravine, with some scenic overlooks here and there, and around every turn my jaw would drop a little farther. Just amazingly gorgeous. See?

Thanks for looking!

Photo Dump, Part 2: California

The nice thing about racing the sun westward to California on a big ol' jet airliner is that I can leave here at 7am, spend 6 hours on a plane, and still have it be 10am when I get there. Even so, I was at a bit of a loss for what to do with my time, since my initial driving-tour idea turned out to be untenable. But since I was flying into Los Angeles, I figured what the heck, why not check out Hollywood? So for a first stop, I headed down to Hollywood Blvd. and Highland Ave, where there was a museum that sounded reasonably interesting. But when I got there, I didn't much like it, nor did I like the look of the museum, so I just walked around the area for a few minutes and decided that was enough. There are probably parts of Hollywood I would enjoy, but that was not one of them.

So instead, I headed for Griffith Park, since the observatory there seemed like a nice landmark in itself, and a great place to get a look at the Hollywood sign as well.
