Excursion: Greystone Mansion and Park

Let's go on a excursion. For those of you who are not in California, we are in Beverly Hills.

And, this is Greystone Mansion. It has a bizarre history. Today, it stands as a public park, architectural landmark and filming location (that's why this looks familiar to you). Built atop 12.58 acres, the mansion which covers 46,054 square feet of it, is one of the largest family estate built in Beverly Hills.

Ahh, pose time.

Am I exciting you?

You should go.

Excursion: Culver City Park Interpretive Nature Trail

Across from the Boneyard (dog park) in the Culver City Park, is a long ramp that zigzags up a cliff. This is the Interpretive Nature Trail, a 20 minute trail designed for wheelchair accessibility, the visually impaired and the casual trailblazer. You can even blaze through this trail in slippers, which I did yesterday. I noticed allot of business men and woman taking on the trek during their lunch break. So we will avoid taking their photo.

The trail drops you off at two spectacular images.

 One, a giant sundial.

Two, a 3 point perspective of Culver City, Santa Monica, and Marina Del Rey. Also that reminds me, check out my previous post about another Culver City gem. Now, why did I not notice these sooner? Well, now you know too and I hope you take the time to discover a Culver City treasure.
