Venice Beach with Harry and Scrapps

My favorite ex bro-in-law and his significant other were over from aussie-land last week so we met up in LA for a few days of reliving glory days and catching up on our lives. One day was spent at Venice Beach, which I adore! The eclectic and eccentric mix of "street people", the carival atmosphere, the boardwalk (sidewalk actually but it has that "boardwalk feel if you know what I mean...kinda 1940's/50's era "feel"?).



Summer tourists have mostly gone home or back to school so it was relaxed and quiet. I forgot to take a picture of the workout court, the very one where Arnold Schwarzenneger worked out and first caught everyones attention. But the muscle-bound & mostly naked were flexing and posing at the assorted weight benches for everyone to "admire". Will try to
remember next time we're in the neighborhood.


Stopping for Coney Island "dogs"...
