Storm drains of Los Angeles

Sunday, January 4th, 2009

You see these occasionally in movies and they seem to be wonderful structures - concrete canyons with flying bridges. I think they are splendid and I wish I had seen them when I was in LA.

They seem vast although the movie shots only show a trickle of water flowing through, if any. So why so big? Well I looked it up and it seems they have to be big for those occasions when the rainfall run-off from the nearby mountains is enormous.
