Midnight Rush Hour

Ever since I moved to Los Angeles last summer, I've wanted to get this shot. It's a fairly popular shot because 1. compositionally it's great and 2. it's fairly easy to get. Finally, I found myself with nothing to do one night and decided to make my way over to the overpass in Elysian Park where this scene can be captured.
