Journal / pictures of a palace in los feliz

ok, some apologies:



1-today's architecture update is flawed.  due to me. and my not having my good camera.  i know, a poor workman blames his tools.  to that end: i'm blaming my tools.



2-i don't know, i'm sure there's something else i can apologize for.



3-oh, that's right, this palace (for it's a palace) deserves to be documented and shot over days, with amazing cameras.  instead i had 5 minutes and a point and shoot.



nonetheless, here are pictures of a palace in los feliz.  which is, for those who don't live in l.a, a part of los angeles.  technically it's where i live.  i think.  i live in about 10 different neighborhoods:



los feliz

east hollywood

hollywood hills

franklin village

hollywood

beachwood canyon

etc



but los feliz is one of the neighborhoods i live in.  sort of.  and here's the palace.

apparently it's famous for having been the seat of a huge estate at one point.  and over time the estate has been chopped  up and sold off.  so now it's a palace without an estate.  but it's still amazing.

and apparently jimi hendrix wrote 'purple haze' here.  and apparently jimmy page met the devil here.  or something.  i guess it depends upon how you define 'devil'.  and possibly how you define 'jimmy page'.

in any case, as i might have mentioned, it's one of the most amazing houses in l.a.

thanks,

moby

p.s-my friend marya was standing by the pool so i'm including a picture of her in amongst the architecture.
