The Getty Center/ Water and Chairs

The Pacific Ocean is barely visible in this photograph, just above the railing on the far right side.

This pool and fountain is on the main level, a homage to the pool and fountain at the Alhambra in Spain.

These chairs are arranged

above the Bowl Garden.

January Visit to the Getty Center

On a bright January day I walked up the Getty Center instead of taking the Tram.

The Center reveals itself gradually.

In January the sycamore trees are bare.

The structures are stark

and not softened by foliage.

The trunks and branches are

light grey and mottled

and pretty against the buildings.

In the Bowl Garden the bare trees are not sycamores,

they are Crape Myrtles.
