Excellent capture of a Raiders fan failing to follow the simplest of directions on the Santa Ana River bike trail.

This photo of traffic on the 3rd Ring Road in Beijing is intimidating to look at — can’t imagine driving it. Attentive readers will recall that Beijing officials and Metro are working together on developing transit — and this photo definitely shows what we have in common with them: traffic.

A nice sunny photo of two members of Metro’s fleet on Grand Avenue in front of Disney Hall.
Don’t know about you, but I can’t wait for the day when the other side of Grand Avenue — currently a bunch of parking lots serving the courts — looks as good as the Disney Hall side. It’s supposed to be developed as part of the Grand Avenue project, if that ever happens (here’s an L.A. Times story about the latest delay). And, for that matter, there’s the big hole in the ground two blocks over between Hill and Broadway where there’s supposed to be a federal courthouse, if that ever happens (and according to this Downtown News story, it’s nearly $700 million from happening). And then there’s the former site of the state building on 1st Street across from the L.A. Times — a weedy parcel where nothing happens. To which I say: tsk tsk tsk.

I’m pleased that we’ve (finally) started to receive a trickle of good submissions of transit here in the Southland. This pair of photos shows the Gold Line in Little Tokyo — above a train travels eastbound on 1st Street and at right a Pasadena-bound train crosses the 1st Street bridge, which is being widened.

I thought we would try something different today with this time-lapse video of Tokyo and some of its transit systems by the photographer Samuel Cockedey. Click here to visit his website and check out some of his other fine work in time-lapse and still photography.

The photo is lovely even without knowing much about it — it was taken at a rail stop in Tokyo. The photographer in an email to me explained: street festivals are common throughout Japan in the summer and each district has its own. The streamers here were for a festival in Tanabata — it’s typical for decoration to be placed around town. Here’s more info.

A very nicely composed shot of pedestrians for today’s photo, taken near the stairs leading to the library in downtown L.A.

A very nice slice of Southern California suburbia. This is the McDonald’s on Yosemite Avenue next to the 118 freeway in Simi Valley.

Nice use of soft focus and color in this image of the light rail line in Minneapolis. This is the first visit to Minnesota for our “art of transit” series. In fact, we still have a lot of states that still need to be visited.

Today’s photo is freeway oriented and is likely a familiar view for anyone who drives or walks along Hill Street in the northern part of downtown Los Angeles. That’s the Hollywood Freeway with the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels at left and Central High School #9 at right.
