Leaving Los Angeles




Taxiing out for takeoff from Los Angeles International airport this morning I caught this glimpse of the iconic LAX Theme building, at center, which once contained the Encounter Restaurant.  The building was built in 1961 and the restaurant opened in 1997 and then closed in 2013.  There is an observation deck on top, but it is only open on the weekends.  To the right is another icon, the Air Traffic Control Tower which is very distinctive, and one of a kind.  After flying for about four and one half hours, suddenly the orange light of the setting sun illuminated the edge of the airplane window.  I love the orange light inside and the blue light outside.
