A trip to Getty's Villa

Kristina and I went to Getty's Villa on that beautiful Saturday. We went to Getty's museum last year, so we need to come to the villa this time. It is such big place (mansion) and full of art display. Most of the art is sculptures made of marble. There are 3 pools at the villa. They all are made of top quality of marble.
This is the 1st and smallest one by the entrance.






This is the middle size pool which is in the middle of the mansion. The 5 sculptures are called "The 5 ladies".










This is the largest pool. By the sides of all 3 pools, there are some rooms full of Roman and Greek art (from 100B.C.~ 500 A.D.). Some of the works are amazing, even a panel of marble sarcophagus.






This is almost a pure marble place. The wall, molding, and the floor. Not just plain marble. They are great quality with design.










This is the hallway next to the largest pool. Kristina was taking some pictures of the windows and floor. I see the perspective view of the hallway.

Valentine weekend w/Kristina

The weekend of Valentine's Day was so nice and warm (80 degrees in LA). Kristina and I went to variety of places to do some walking, shopping, and photo taking.







She got this fancy camera for Christmas, and she is still learning how to take award winning photos. :]










She and 3 other girls live on top floor of the dorm building. This little door is so short. It looks like a door for kids, but it actually is for storage room.










Her room is fairly small. She has tons of posters, cloth, Christmas lights hanging on the wall. They do give nice lighting and atmosphere in her room.








This is her new pet hamster: Kubla Khan.
