The Western landscape is a place where the transformation of physical space involves both visualization and manipulation, where the connections between what can be physically seen and how it is visually represented are not always clear; technologies originally designed to render places visible often became instruments of invisibility and surveillance, severing western lands from the populations that depend on them. Out of Site focuses on three technological revolutions to examine how visual technologies, artistic interventions, and the workings of state power have evolved in tandem with the Western landscape: wet-plate photography, used to theorize geological processes; the rise of aerial photography and pattern recognition; and the increasing use of drones, satellites, and other long-range photographic technologies to image secretive sites, military installations, and other technologically-mediated locales. The exhibition features 90 artworks, archival materials, and devices ranging from mammoth plate cameras to drones. Carleton Watkins’ Nevada mining photographs,19th-century geological reports, and stereoviews, and Margaret Bourke-White’s aerial surveys published in LIFE magazine in 1936 are juxtaposed with contemporary photographic and video pieces by David Maisel, Michael Light, and Steven Yazzie, among other artists.

Check in California Disney, this year is just the 70th anniversary, the garden is a bit old and a bit small, there are several projects worth recommending [screaming teeth]... The weather for this tour is good [screaming teeth], the queue time is not long, the biggest difference with the domestic group is the tourist group, There are many participants in each age group from 8 months to 80 years old. The stroller and wheelchair are crowded and enjoying life. The fare is 3 people and 470 knives. Parking 35 is also worth it. [strong]

Dinosaur Hall: *The treasure of the town! It has more than 300 real fossils, including**the world&#39;s only Tyrannosaurus Rex &quot;Thomas&quot; growth series fossils (juvenile, sub-adult, adult), which directly shows the mystery of dinosaur growth. The stunning Triceratops &quot;Destiny&quot; skeleton** (one of the largest and most complete found in North America) and the Diplodocus skeleton are breathtaking.

Immersive setting: Fossils are not displayed in isolation, but are placed in a carefully restored prehistoric ecological environment, with sound and light effects, as if traveling back to the dinosaur era.

2. The dazzling world of minerals and gems:

&quot;Gem and Mineral Hall&quot;: It is a visual feast! It collects**more than 2,000**amazing specimens.

Giant natural gold nuggets: Giant natural gold nuggets such as &quot;Golden Dog&quot; are astonishing.
Rare Gemstones: Glittering amethyst geodes, rough emeralds, perfectly cut diamonds, and slices of meteorites from Mars and the Moon, showcasing the magnificent wealth of the Earth and the universe.

Griffith Observatory: The Eye of Wisdom in Los Angeles, a Must-Visit Free Landmark
Griffith Observatory is no ordinary attraction. It is a spiritual symbol of Los Angeles, where science and romance interweave. Whether you are an astronomy enthusiast or not, it is definitely worth a visit, and admission is free (except for certain exhibitions and performances). Its charm lies in its unique integration, with distinct and profound highlights:

Core Highlights:

1. Unparalleled panoramic view of the city:
Located on the top of the Hollywood Hills, the observatory itself is the best viewing platform overlooking Los Angeles. During the day, the city texture is in full view; at dusk, witness the &quot;City of Angels&quot; covered with golden rays of light, the lights are on, until the lights of thousands of homes under the bright stars, and the Hollywood sign is within reach - this is the most iconic postcard perspective of Los Angeles, a holy place for photography enthusiasts.

2. Immersive astronomy science hall:
Samuel Oschin Planetarium: The world&#39;s top dome theater, with advanced laser projection system and surround sound effects. Its programs (tickets required) such as &quot;Dark Night Stars&quot; and &quot;Center of the Universe&quot; are not simple popular science, but a soul-stirring journey of cosmic art, taking you through time and space to feel the vastness and mystery of the universe.
Free exhibition hall The content is easy to understand and highly interactive. Must-see:
Foucault pendulum: a classic device that intuitively demonstrates the rotation of the earth.
Planetary models and astronomical maps: Exquisite display of solar system and cosmic knowledge.
Giant Tesla coil demonstration: (at a specific time) watch the spectacular sight of artificial lightning, full of scientific sense.
The historical building itself: The Art Deco style incorporates Greek revival elements, and the dome and murals are full of astronomical symbols, which is itself a work of art.

3. A window to experience the stars:
Free public telescope observation: This is the most precious tradition of the observatory! Open at night when the weather is fine (see the official website for details), you can witness the lunar craters, Jupiter stripes, Saturn rings, and even distant nebulae with your own eyes through powerful Zeiss refracting telescopes and other equipment. Professional volunteers explain on the spot, making the universe within reach. This real stargazing experience cannot be replaced by any screen.

Is it worth going? Conclusion:

Highly recommended to:
Visitors who are visiting Los Angeles for the first time: This is a great starting point to understand the city&#39;s geography and temperament.
Photography enthusiasts: Capture the classic camera position of Los Angeles panorama and Hollywood sign.
People who are curious about astronomy and science: Free and high-quality science feast.
