Los Angeles from Vista Hermosa Park northwest of downtown

On my way back from Mexico City to Phoenix I spent a night at the Hotel Cecil downtown and saw a mention of this revamped park in a tourist guide. Nice views.

Boyle Heights is a charming historic neighborhood east of downtown Los Angeles whose enchantment has been damaged by the massive freeways carved through it.
