Teeny tiny Los Angeles skyline

I was hiking in the Angeles National Forest yesterday and when returning home stopped at the pullouts on Angeles Crest Highway just below Red Box for one of my favorite scenes -- the distant view of the L.A. metro area at sunset. I shot this one with my relatively new 10-24 wide angle lens out of curiousity. I just wanted to see how it would do at such a distance and, besides, I like putting man-made things into some kind of context with the surrounding landscape. 

Here's a photo I took from almost the same exact location last Christmas Day, using my telephoto lens. Better sunset that day for sure. But I like them both. The wide angle lens is ridiculously sharp, the telephoto lens gives the primary subject, downtown L.A., more attention.
