In Los Angeles we tend to drive around a lot, and I am no exception! My boyfriend and I live in different cities and sometimes he comes out here and other times I drive out to him. Now when people think of traffic in L.A., I’m sure the first thought that pops into their head is NIGHTMARE! Which is totally understandable considering that I myself have experienced the nightmare that is Los Angeles traffic. But I just wanted to point out that commuting in L.A. can also be… beautiful.

I leave my boyfriend’s place late, when the traffic is better. There’s still a lot of cars but it’s great because there is no stopping or slowing. And I don’t know, there’s something about driving at night. It’s peaceful (to me at least). One of my favorite parts of driving home at this time is passing by downtown L.A. It’s beautiful to me and I wanted to share it with you! Especially those of you who aren’t in California. So…

… I recorded my drive home on my Nokia N95 LOL! Yes, while driving, I don’t recommend it so don’t try this at home kids!

(I converted the file to a flash file so the quality isn’t great which is why it’s smaller, so I’m also including some freeze frames of the recording below the video… hope you enjoy!)
