Joshua needed a ride to LAX at 4:30 am, so I threw the camera and tripod in the back seat of the truck, just in case. Just in case the timing would provide a vantage point for a quick pre-dawn shot or three. It did. And the bonus is that I’ve never taken a photo from this spot before. It’s an overlook across from the front of Golden Valley High School.
