We had dinner in a really nice Chinese restaurant in Venice tonight. As we left and turned the corner, there was the beautiful Venice sign against a twilight sky! The perfect time to photograph it! Venice, California was founded by Abbot Kinney in 1905, and this sign was illuminated for the first time on the Fourth of July. The sign was restored in 2007 with a modern day replica, and it is beautiful to see. It is a tribute to the celebrated Venice of years past and a modern day gateway to the world famous Venice Beach.

I went down the rabbit hole because I started with Abbot Kinney then the Venice sign plus looked at maps of the area. I have a better idea of where you are. I happened upon Randy’s Donuts, too :-)
Perfect time of day, perfect composition, perfect shot!
Awsome! You captured it perfectly 💕
Thank you all. It was funny if we had come out of the restaurant any earlier the illuminated sign would not have been obvious. Stroke of good luck on the time of day. And Betsey, I get the going down the rabbit hole where you go to maps and see where everything is located. I applaud your curiosity!
