It's no secret that there are many beautiful spots along the Arroyo Seco, from the Angeles Crest all the way down to the confluence with the LA River.

I couldn't figure out whether this was a figure or an ideogram.
More photos after the jump.

Watch out! Snakes live in the wall. And they smoke.
A short walk to the Colorado St. Bridge, and then on to the Rose Bowl.
