Lunchtime Photo

The Watts Towers silhouetted against the morning sun. Simon Rodia spent 33 years building his towers, and then finally gave up because he was getting old and he got tired of battling the city for permits.

    Something about the remarkable resemblance of form of Antoni Gaudi and that of the Thai stupa, but accidentally a literal deconstructivist gesture from rebar and recycled materials.

      Given that I was unemployed a year ago as a result of the terrible economy, it is amazing that I run a home-based business and make a healthy $60k each week. It is now my duty to promote goodwill and make these instructions available to others after being gifted with them.

    One of the members of the state cactus and succulent society visited the Towers and photographed them extensively, then did a short program at the club's holiday party. I hate to say it, but your silhouette photo does not do justice to the variety, detail, and intricacy of Mr Rodia's obsession.

    Thanks for this.

    Tourists in LA: the Watts Towers are *well* worth a visit, a beautiful piece of folk art with roots in small town Italian religious festivals, and with a fascinating history within the neighborhood.

    Despite the city's lack of cooperation, during the Watts riots of 1965 neighborhood residents protected the Towers as an emblematic point of pride. There's a terrific art and history community center there, too.

    Working part-time, I bring in more than $13,400 every month. I made the decision to research it after hearing a lot of people talk about how much money they could make online. All of it was real, and it completely 10 altered my life. You can read this article for
