6th Street Bridge over the Los Angeles River. View from the 6th Street Bridge looking east. During my visit to So. Cal., my good friends David and Natalie drove me around downtown L.A. to scout out locations for downtown L.A. skyline shots. We chose the 6th Street bridge. The 6th Street bridge is one of several historical bridges that traverse the mythical Los Angeles River. The 6th Street Bridge was built in 1932/33. The light was changing fast, so David stopped the car on the bridge and dropped me off so I could setup. I actually enjoyed shooting the bridge rather than the skyline. Many thanks to David and Natalie for indulging my hobby.
