Los Angeles Moonlight Drive

Los Angeles can be a great city to drive around at night.  The lights, the sounds, and the energy of a Southern California night are intoxicating and hypnotic.  70 degrees and dry, with a spooky California wildfire moon?  It's so L.A.!

As I cruise the L.A. freeways on an electric Friday night, the city is alive with excitement!  Every lane is packed, bumper to bumper, with beautiful cars, all traveling 70 miles per hour.  Surrounded by millions of sparkling city lights, I feel an adrenaline rush.

Floating over the 101 Freeway's Cahuenga Pass, from Universal City into Hollywood, I catch a dazzling view of Downtown Tinseltown below.  The Hollywood Freeway is a flood of millions of headlights and taillights, with searchlights lighting up the night sky.

Every car has the windows down, with hair flying around everywhere.  I can hear different kinds of music blasting out of the cars around me.  Rock, Techno, Country, Jazz, Surf, Punk and Reggaeton.  So free, so alive, so California!

As I surf the freeways, as a part of this mechanical wave through nighttime Los Angeles, I feel hypnotized and spellbound.  I've driven around many cities at night, but none are as cool as this one... or as strange.
