“Taken from the City Hall East window on the 17th floor, wishing I were at Opening Day at Dodger Stadium.”

– Renee Ramirez, LAFD

John’s comment: I just love seeing that blimp floating around downtown. Great shot, Renee — you sure do capture quite a bit from the 17th floor. (Go Dodgers!)

 



“I recently went on our 20th wedding anniversary to Fiji (thanks, Costco). We found what’s at the end of the rainbow!”

Karl Guder, Retired, General Services

John’s comment: I wonder how long you navigated the boat you were riding in, Karl, before you reached the perfect angle to capture this moment! Well done!

 



“A sunset on Cabrillo Beach, San Pedro.”

Victor Ladd, Retired, LAPD

John’s comment: Victor, we’ve published many great sunset shots, and this would be among the best. I love the small group of people dwarfed by the bursting colors. Thanks for sending!

 



“Spring in Paris, 2018.”

Shaudi Pishvaie, LAPD

John’s comment: Shaudi, this picture captures “April in Paris” perfectly. It’s one of my favorite cities, and the breath of fresh air I can sense just from seeing this makes me want to revisit the city … especially now after the fire at Notre Dame Cathedral. Thanks for giving me a sensory experience.
