Los Angeles
Sun & Screen
Overview
The city that invented a certain kind of light.
Los Angeles is misunderstood by those who don't know it, and fiercely loved by those who do. It is a city of extraordinary physical beauty — strung across canyons and coast, given a quality of afternoon light that has never been adequately explained.
Three things worth knowing
01
The Coast
From Malibu south through Santa Monica, the Pacific Coast Highway offers one of the great drives on earth. Do it slowly, at the hour when the surf is low and the light is long and the Santa Monica mountains go pink behind you.
02
The Museums
The Getty Center at dusk, when day-trippers have left and the city below turns to copper. LACMA on a quiet Wednesday. The Broad, for the work that is changing what contemporary art looks like.
03
The Canyons
Laurel Canyon in the late afternoon. Runyon at dawn. The canyons of Los Angeles are the city's secret — wild, fragrant, ten minutes from everything, and visited only by those who know to turn off the main road.
