More often than not recently I've noticed a beautiful sight while driving home at night. The Griffith Observatory. They've been teasing me (and others who live in this neighborhood) with their new exterior lighting. Soon a good majority of Angelenos will once again be able to enjoy the wonderful treasure we lost years ago to renovation.
On October 15th there will be a special preview to two groups in particular that I know of: Friends of the Observatory (FOTO) and Photo Friends of the Los Angeles Public Library History Department. There will be a Galactic Re-Opening Gala on October 29th for those people with deep pockets, one would assume the general public opening will happen sometime after that.
Mark your calendars and remember that for the first few months you'll need a reservation to go visit. Check out the official Griffith Observatory website for more info.

It looks so beautiful at night with everything lit up. I noticed it about a week ago, driving back from Hollywood, nice to see it's getting some respect.

I've been waiting for this for so long. Glad that it's finally opening up again soon.
