Griffith Observatory

This picture taken at Mount Hollywood in Griffith Park in in Los Angeles, California.  Mike again picked this one out from his Trip Adviser app., an another good call it was.  The Zeiss Telescope, a 12 inch refracting telescope, is mainly used for night time viewing of the moon and is located in the East end of the building or to the right of the photo.  More people have looked through this telescope than any other one in the world, and guess what folks its free.  There is also three Solar Telescopes located in the West end of the building for viewing the sun.  Thank you Griffith J. Griffith.  This place has a lot of neat exhibits from moon phases, how tides happen, to an Earth rotating around the sun showing the 365+ revolutions in a year.  We were unable to see it all, however, as the ballgame awaited us and the traffic was pretty much a nightmare.  I did get a picture of the Hollywood sign from this site but the fog clouded the picture.
