We went to a park on a hill which is south to our place, to see sunset, but we did not make it. This park offers a great view, though. In the front, you see the southern part of the city of Torrance. On the right, you see inland, and on the left, you see the ocean (well, probably you do not see it in this pic). Downtown LA is far back on the right.
眺めはいいけれど、なんだか空気が曇っているのがわかりますか？スモッグです。このあたりは、ロサンゼルス郡のなかでも、海風が吹くので、スモッグが比較的軽い地域らしいですが、それでもこのとおり。ちなみに、このスモッグは風に吹かれてグランド・キャニオンあたりまで飛んでいくらしいです。そういえば、グランド・キャニオンも煙っていた。。。
It is a great view, but can you see that it is smoggy in the back? Around here, the air is supposed to be cleaner than other parts of LA county, because the smog tends to be blown away by the sea breeze, but still the air is pretty bad, in comparison to what we enjoyed in Virginia. This smog, I read somewhere, is blown inland to reach as far as Grand Canyon. It was indeed smoggy when we were there a week ago.
夕焼けはいつもとても美しい。
We enjoy beautiful sunsets almost everyday.
明かりのともった街
The city with lights on.
