Downtown Los Angeles A Last View of My California
I'm showing you a bad angle on a creepy mosaic sculpture wall in downtown Los Angeles, California. I sat here while waiting to get on a train back to San Diego.
I had to travel to LA twice in two days by train in order to get the Thai Visa I needed to travel there. I could not have it delivered to the home I was staying at because my crazy landlord's drunken boyfriend was stealing the mail.
The last thing I needed to be doing a week before leaving the country was spending hours on buses and trains for two days, but that was my only choice.
It turns out this is mural is called "El Grito" (the Cry) and is a depiction of a cry made in 1810, by a Father Hildalgo inciting peasants to revolt against the rule of Spain ultimately leading to Mexican Independence in 1821.
The park I am sitting in is called the "Placita de Delores" after the city in Mexico where this event happened. Right across the street was Union Station and this was a nicer place to sit.
I was here for a couple of hours two days in a row while waiting for the train. Both trips were tiring and I did not feel like walking around in downtown LA. There are three helicopters in this shot.
I found a good site about the making of this odd mural. You can take a look and see why I only got closer once and did not take photos. It looks like a horror movie, and I was trying to feel peace.

I lost "Half My Size" eight years ago by using natural methods. No tricks, just doing a bit better every day. I started on October 10 one year, and did not give up. Four years later, on October 5th, there I was - thin and healthy for the first time in my life. You can do it too!

Thank you very much for the photos, @fitifun. That looks like a very complex work!
I am sorry about the troubles you went through just to get your Visa. What a drag. 😶
Yes, it was. I had planned to have this done by mail, but could not risk it with my passport docs. He already had stolen my CA Driver's license went it came! As well as quite a few other things that were not of as much value. But it all worked out in the end, and one (two) more trips(s) to LA did not kill me lol.
This art is complex for sure, on many levels.
