Thanks for your feedback. We've had so many earthquakes lately. It's pretty scary, but I'm hoping they ward off the big one!Amanda Price June 30, 2005
Wow! This is really eye-catching, Mary! #1540325Mary B. McGrath June 30, 2005
It was very windy when we were in this helicopter. The pilot wanted to know if we wanted to fly between the buildings, but I was too nervous that we'd be blown into a skyscraper. Very exciting excursion!Mary B. McGrath July 23, 2005
Yes, we all live with earthquakes here in Los Angeles. I love aerial photography, but don't have the opportunity to do it very often. My editor at Photographic Magazine enjoyed this image as well, and published it a few years ago. Let's hope it doesn't come true!Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
