“In both Europe and America, the 19th century brought increased urbanization and industrialization. In response, city governments began providing open spaces and natural settings for public use. The profession of Landscape Architecture expanded during the later part of the 19th century, and park design became a large part of this new profession’s repertoire…A building type called the glasshouse or conservatory, took shape, in which the city-dweller could view masterpieces of the plant world otherwise unavailable in urban environments. Municipalities and individuals spent a great deal of time and money to construct these building types, which became known as “theaters of nature.” - Wiki

I love the Griffith Observatory. In a town that has trouble accepting its own aging, much like most of its inhabitants, it’s one of the few places you can feel a sense of history in LA. I love that, and what can I say, I’m a fucking sucker for some symmetry. Maybe the one good “touristy” thing to do in LA, I can’t recommend enough a regular visit whenever in LA; and even more so for those that live in LA. Nothing like getting above all the bullshit to remind yourself how small it is. Really I think that’s why this place was built, to observe the city as much as the stars.
