Sunset in Los Angeles, California - Michael Connelly Quote and Pictures

I took a couple of pictures from the 405 Freeway at sunset. The black object in the sky is the Goodyear Blimp. And here's a quote by Michael Connelly about Los Angeles at sunset.

“The setting sun burned the sky pink and orange in the same bright hues as surfers' bathing suits. It was beautiful deception, Bosch thought, as he drove north on the Hollywood Freeway to home. Sunsets did that here. Made you forget it was the smog that made their colors so brilliant, that behind every pretty picture there could be an ugly story.”

― Michael Connelly, The Black Echo
