SJC/LAX–2013 July 10

While preparing to leave San José, I saw one of the Boeing 787 Dreamliners that had been having so many problems. It took off just fine.

I had about ten hours between my arrival at LAX and the departure to Taipei. While wandering around, I got some pictures of this art installation, “#LAX Poppies”. (Click any picture to see it in a larger size).
