Altadena Close-up

I had a good time getting my camera back up to Altadena. The alley behind Mariposa Street is one of my favorite views in town, believe it or not. Maybe because it's old-fashioned. A lot of people like it, I think. I understand it's often used for movie shoots. Of course, you could say that about pretty much all of Altadena.

The orange squares on the upper part of the building are plates that anchor reinforcing bolts. It's earthquake protection. (I blogged about it last year.) I think they add a little something.

There are 67 businesses on the Arts Coalition directory. I didn't get to everybody, which gives me an excuse to go back. Like I needed one.

While you're checking out Altadena, check out Bill Westphal's Altadena WeatherCam. It even makes me jealous, and I live about 5 miles away.

Yesterday was an exciting day for Pasadena Daily Photo. Welcome, new visitors and followers! I hope you'll get involved in the conversation.
