It is the best :) Just like out of a film set but John took it so it must be real.

Thank you to all for your comments. This was probably one of twelve that I photographed. I was on vacation in Los Angeles at the end of August, lost trying to find the bus stop that would take me to Santa Monica and came upon this scene, so yes the scene is staged. They were filming a scene for a new television series early in the morning. I eventually found my bus, went to Santa Monica for the day and on my way back to Long Beach, through downtown Los Angeles, they were finally shooting the scene and I captured these images.

..and how well you did so. Staged or not it is a beautiful image. I can see it as a poster.
