Or so it’s commonly thought. But we beg to differ. Los Angeles is quite a walkable city, and where we live, at the border of Los Angeles and Santa Monica, is particularly pedestrian-friendly.

So when jojoebi of jojoebi designs suggested a global neighbourhood photo journal series, we put on our walking shoes and trod the sidewalks to show you our neighbourhood.

An apartment block in Los Angeles.

A colourful house in neighbouring Santa Monica.

Looking up the street towards Brentwood, another neighbourhood to the north.

A postbox. I’m not sure if it’s happy or sad.

Manhole covers in LA are utilitarian.

But the “no dumping” signs by our drains are very marine!

This is the big blue bus that I take to work everyday.

Our local park, Stoner Park, with a baseball game in session.

The children’s playground at our local park.

The water playground in our local park, which I’ve never seen in use. We’ll have to find out how to get in this summer!

A Farmers Market in Santa Monica.

Our local shop, Trader Joe’s. It has a nice selection of fresh produce, and a deadly snacks section.

The Santa Monica recycling centre has a colourful mural describing the life cycle of our waste.

An evening street view.

We hope you’ve enjoyed a tour of where we live. Below are links to the global tour, so check them out in the coming days!

Love,

The runway at our local Santa Monica airport, with a view of Los Angeles.

And how Los Angeles looks from the Getty Museum, which we love to visit for its amazing photo exhibitions.
