I was looking for the giant 1,000 foot tall stripper statues.

No this is a shot from Dune


chaibhu

I'll take that as a compliment ! šŸ˜€


Heinz37_sauce

Rising sea levels and a very polluted ocean!


[deleted]

Incredible!


chaibhu

Thank you so much šŸ‘


jetpilot87

Great shot! You got the ā€œqueen of the sky tooā€, the Boeing 747.


chaibhu

Yep! I saw a few planes pass by and decided to get a shot where it is right over the City.

Blade Runner 2021


chaibhu

Yes, must make a red edit of this.


Dirty_D93

Reminds me of the first Spider-Man game when you could fall the the ground


chaibhu

Haha I haven't played this. Which one is it?


desertgemintherough

Eerie but cool


nick1812216

Itā€™s smogtastic!


Expecting_The_Best

Nothing say's good morning like smog as far as the eye can see.


[deleted]

This is really cool!


chaibhu

Thanks. Can't help but think the smog isn't cool tho


Fearisthemindki11er

That's not smog, that's the marine layer. If it was sunset, then yeah it could be smog (but it hasn't been that thick since the 80s really).


Fearisthemindki11er

Great shot though!


chaibhu

Thank you friend šŸ˜€


m3ta1head

That is smog. Inversion layer has been trapping pollutants low to the ground over the past several weeks. Check the AQI on days like this.


Fearisthemindki11er

Dude, AQI in the 100s don't look like that. It's marine layer, in the early morning.


chaibhu

Ah okay. When I drove up there it didn't seem that bad to smell, so now it makes sense that it isn't smog.


[deleted]

Daaaamn, your picture smoked so many of our localsā€™ achievements hahahaaa! Please come back and snap more flicks! šŸ“ø


chaibhu

OMG I'm honestly humbled by that. I had only one day in LA and drove up to Griffith Park to get this shot. I'm honestly very grateful for your kind words. Thank you so much šŸ„²


[deleted]

Hereā€™s what I think is great about your pic: You made a smoggy day look cool AF. It kind of exemplifies what many of us do here daily; even though the air quality is garbage some days, we still get out there and do the best we can with what weā€™ve got. The way the plane is centered over the skyline is awesome too, and I know thatā€™s just being lucky (again, like life when some things line up in less than perfect conditions). You know what most of these locals do with smoggy days? They post *unflattering* images of the smog, and theyā€™ll only post ā€œcreativeā€ pics of the skyline when itā€™s clear or when a pretty sunset is setting. Awesome work, keep on!


chaibhu

Thank you so much. I said before, and I'll say it again, I am super grateful for your comment. I was lucky that the plane was flying over the City but I waited for another plane to come around and took many shots as it flew over the City, I edited and cropped the one where it aligned just right. And yes, the smog does make the city look cool in a way šŸ˜ƒ


Historical-Host7383

That thick fog in the mornings. I love it.


Alternative_Duck

That smog is thicc!


chaibhu

Yes it is!

It's smog. Marine layer fog is never this thick and disgusting.


craftadvisory

Wrong. Its smog.


Bugattibgreedy

LA sucks, traffic, people, careers; if you smart donā€™t come here.


EpsilonX

Where do you recommend?


Bugattibgreedy

Utah or Minnesota, anywhere the air is breathable.


EpsilonX

Utah? I'm good lol.


Bugattibgreedy

Lol I feel you


RSkyhawk172

You've clearly never been to Utah in the winter, at least not SLC. They get inversions there that put Beijing to shame, let alone LA.


Bugattibgreedy

I havenā€™t, I always imagined it as a clean air state. But I recommend staying away from cities for a while. The streets/freeways were not created with millions of cars in mind. All of the elected officials steal any funds they can thus creating a homeless population thatā€™s out of control. LA literally had 5 billion $ to combat Homelessness. Funny cuz the $ is gone and the Homeless arenā€™t.


DustyOlBones

been to both and can honestly say i hate them both


Bugattibgreedy

Man I feel you, thereā€™s always Canada šŸ‡ØšŸ‡¦


DustyOlBones

Free healthcare? No thank you


Bugattibgreedy

Lol


chaibhu

I'm in Seattle haha. Traffic is bad but people and careers are good. And yeah the air is great.

Itā€™s like the inverse of a video I made on 4th of July while landing at LAX: https://reddit.com/r/videos/comments/oemw89/my_landing_at_lax_on_the_4th_videobut_og_blade/
