5:45 PM That’s the time Google says sunset in Los Angeles will be. That’s also the time a photography fan like myself needs to be out in the city ready to take full advantage of the beautiful lighting at dusk. The world just seems like a more beautiful place when it’s bathed in a warm orange glow. However, if any of you have ever braved the roads and freeways of Los Angeles at 5:45 pm, you know that something else occurs at this time. RUSH HOUR. Yes, going anywhere fast is an impossibility because of traffic. For this reason it’s necessary to allow plenty of time to get to your destination. In my case, I just barely made it to the 1st Street Bridge in time to snag some photos of the downtown cityscape just before the sun disappeared behind the buildings.
Thanks to my new timepiece by Avi-8, I was able to keep perfect track of time throughout the day. Based out of Great Britain, Avi-8 makes some awesome looking watches. In these pics, I’m wearing the Flyboy watch. This timepiece is loaded with details like round aeronautic dials and red, white, and blue striping on the leather strap. These details had me feeling ready to take flight with Britain’s Royal Air Force. Except for the fact that I don’t know how to fly a plane. And I’m not British. But even without the flying skills to back it up, this timepiece is the perfect compliment to any outfit, especially when paired with some classic metal sunglasses.
