Those are great! This thread could use more of those but is still terrific as is. The last aerial that both Architennis and Westie put up is the definitive Los Angeles density shot. Almost as good as that guy atwater village's tour from the air. Quite a monster, LA is.

I have, and driven through the neighborhood many times. I believe thats when Marvin Gaye parents lived, and when he was killed by his father.

I agree. I love how the rows of palm trees seem to mirror the skyscrapers.

Did you say "street shots" or "street level shots?" 'Cause these are some streets.
