It looks like a laser beam but maybe it's the soul of L.A. being captured by the tourist's camera. Could it be?

Either way, I like this photo very much. You really have a very special way of capturing people, like you did here. :)

And that be red light that shines from the flash as it examines the scene?? You have a great title and perfect picture for the monthly theme! By the way, I love your poetic comments! #4742165

Exceptional! The red dusk line in the horizon is very cool! Looks like a laser coming from the lens :) #4747232

I love how you lined up the light of the horizon with the lens!
This is perfect for the monthly theme!
So nice to see you back in the BP "neighborhood!"
