Department of Water and Power Los Angeles

This wild shot of the DWP building makes a great background, if you're into that wild building look. I would suggest trying some absolute positioning to align everything right.

Sculpture in DWP fountain

When the fountains are off, you get this great view of downtown Los Angeles past this wild triangular statue at the DWP.

This is one of the more common shots in LA. It's just that nobody ever takes them.
