The Griffith Observatory, located in Griffith Park, is six miles - and yet worlds away - from the office towers of downtown Los Angeles.

Los Angeles Times photographer Wally Skalij did an amazing job capturing the lights of both the observatory and the city in this shot.

Here's a link to a previous blog post on the Griffith Observatory from a visit in 2009.

With some outstandinging displays, including a telescope that more people have looked though than any other telescope in the world, free admission and (yes!) free parking, the Griffith Observarory is a definite "must see" for both locals and visitors.
