There was just enough clouds to the southwest to allow me to get a photograph of the sunset that included the same two palm trees I've been photographing from the porch for over ten years. The moon is at the top left. It's too bad I couldn't get Venus in the shot as well. Maybe another time.

While doing laundry, the owner decided to turn on the neon lights again, perhaps just to see if they're still working. A lot of repairs and maintenance has been going on for more than a year, getting this place back in shape after the previous owners let it go bad. Too many washers didn't work, or they broke down during crucial washing or drying sessions. I guess the neon lights working suggests all the electricity needed for this place is still working properly. And so it the security camera at the top right of the photo. (The manager has monitors in his office that lets him see what is going on, including my photographing his neon display with my phone.

This was taken on the last day of the month -- or, last day of the year. By this time, the news of former President Jimmy Carter's passing had been announced, so the flag above the Barnes & Noble bookstore was flying at half-staff, as were the flags everywhere else in Glendale.
And the fact that Santa's House is now officially closed made the atmosphere seem more solemn.

I finally got a good full-on photo of this Louis Vuitton display window. And I got it close to magic hour, where we could see some reflections from the window rendered blue. It probably won't be long before this display is replaced by... something else.

I also took this photo shortly after I left the AMC 18 Theaters at the Americana. I don't think there is a water shortage going on, but the water jets weren't going full blast as they normally do, even after the holidays are over. At least I was able to get a good view of the golden guy statue.
