la brea

we visited the la brea tar pits while we were there. they have a museum with many of the fossils found on site, but more interesting than that are the actual tar pits. right there in the middle of a HUGE city are ponds of tar, just bubbling up out of the ground.

i'm not sure why, but seeing tar come straight out of the ground is really cool. they have many large tar pits on the grounds that you can look at but are fenced off. this must have been new because there was nothing around it, well, except us.
i love this picture, it reminds me of a happy childhood
