Paul E. Getty Museum trip in LA. The place has a wonderful collection and a nice garden. Everyone's gotta go there if they are visiting LA. The best thing: free admission! Just pay parking fees. That day there was a strange heatwave, we thought it would be cold like the last time I went in June 2 years ago but it was blazing hot. That day we also saw Britney Spears crash her car at the freeway... See this post here regarding that night.
A shot while snacking on a bagel & chips. We were hungry cuz we didn't have lunch that day. These didn't provide very much shade lol.

Snakes on your platter anyone? Including some prawns, frogs, lizards and other cool stuff.

Cameos: left one is a huge pearl incorporated carving and right one is a detailed profile in ivory (?)

Spanish manuscript illumination: 'The Lamb Defeating the Ten Kings'. It is an imagery of the Apocalypse.
****
A Sphinx. I thought it looked rather bizarre and imposing.
****
Forgot the name of the painting but it is Christ and John the Baptist.
****
I'd love to live in one of these... temporarily. They make you feel very small.
****
More! Very lovely reconstructed rooms, however I prefer to live with less excess.
****
I felt this was the most striking painting and is my favourite. Almost photo realistic! It's huge too.
****
Gotta get a shot of Monet of course.

Funky water fountain somewhere above the maze gardens. It was echoing and quite large.

The sea looms in the background. Foreground consists of the cactus gardens (not accessible to public).

Sunset at last. Was a really hot day!
