Dodger Stadium is located in an area that was known as Chevez Ravine before the stadium was built in 1962. Close to downtown, but unfortunatley not close enough to walk because parking is $15 per car!
This photo was taken on June 27, 2007 using a Canon PowerShot A80.

Really cool shot - I'll have to share this with a Dodger fan I know...

I also had no idea Dodger Stadium was this close to downtown. Not a Dodgers fan, but I could listen to Vin Scully read the phonebook. I grew up listening to him Saturday afternoons on NBC on the Game of the Week. I'm always amazed that he does it without a color man. Just him in the booth. Great stuff.

We are truly blessed to hear Vin Scully on the air almost every night during baseball season. Since I was a kid my ears have heard more words from his mouth than any other.

You can really imagine the terrain before it became urbanized with the exposure of the ravine.

Simply amazing. Did you do this from a commerical plane?
kla4067 (51 months ago | reply)
Yes, from a commercial airliner. However, it was not on the normal approach to LAX. A turboprop from Reno followed Interstate 5 to downtown, then west to the airport. Best ride I ever had!

That was def taken from the nose bleeds! Nice One. One time while flying over LA I decided to try to get some arial photos of the city. The flight attendant started asking me questions about what I was doing. I knew she was trained to ask questions about anything suspicious but of course I was only trying to get a nice shot of the city. The situation was defused when I explained to her I like to take photos, but I wanted to say, "There's something on the wing...some thing".
kla4067 (49 months ago | reply)
I got busted recently for taking pictures of Columbus, OH after being advised to "turn off all electronic devices". That's the only negative comment I ever got from a flight crew in the last 3 years.
riffsyphon1024 (49 months ago | reply)
I'm starting to wonder if places for allowable photography are becoming far and few now. Everywhere I go now, someone is telling me not to take pictures...

Well, as old as I am, and being a fan of the Broklyn Dodgers, I can't look at this photo without thinking of the numbers of people who were displaced, often forcibly, from their homes under Right of Public Domain. Very sad times for so many. It wasn' just all terrain, it was hundreds of homes and families. Ron, I am so enjoying your photography, especially being the daughter of an airplane mechanic, builder and pilot who worked on the B 52's (if I recall correctly) at Lockheed in Burbank where I grew up. You've definitely got Dectol in your blood. Enjoying your commentaries and your humor, too.

Thank you very much for your comments. I too was born and raised in Burbank (Hollywood Way and Vedugo). My dad worked for Lockheed for a while too.
