My route to the March for Science on Saturday took me first to the Silverlake/Los Feliz neighborhood and then on to downtown and a walk down Hill Street passing by Angels Flight.
In Silverlake the Rowena Reservoir is gradually being converted into a wild bird sanctuary. No longer are open, uncovered water reservoirs allowed in Los Angeles and to comply, the water department has, for several reservoirs around the city, added a cover below the usual water level, then added more water on top. The result: the reservoir looks the same as before and the water supply is protected.
Later on my travels to downtown Los Angeles, I noticed a new statue beside the stairs leading up Bunker Hill beside Angels Flight. It is a statue of a California condor perched on a battered retaining wall and I’m pretty sure it wasn’t there a couple of months ago when I walked up the stairs to the top. Here is a photo of it.
