Mountain Top and Freeway Shots!

I recently returned home from my vacation. As my flight descended towards LAX, I saw these views. I quickly grabbed my iPhone and captured them!

It was fun and I hope you enjoy.

Unknown mountain with snow, probably in San Bernardino County:

The 110 Freeway, looking south:

The mighty 405 Freeway, looking south

Directly overhead the mighty 405 Freeway, looking south. The hill in the distance is the Palos Verdes Peninsula.

Nice and bright and clear!

I am SO GLAD I don’t have to drive on those freeways, though!

Thank you for sharing them.

Actually, if you are familiar with the traffic patterns, you can usually avoid the worst part of whatever day you're on the freeway.

Of course, there are times when you can't. Oh well!

I don't use them much, since I'm retired (YAY)!

I always like mountain pictures. They are calming in a way.
