The Monolith

This was an unexpected - and spooky - find far up in the hills above Burbank. It's a very old abandoned Boy Scout camp. The monolithic chimney of it's main house is all that remains, looking much like a scene from 2001 A Space Odyssey.  It was built well to be able to withstand so many earthquakes and brush fires.   But now, except for the sounds of wind through the brush, it's silent up here, one would never know you were in Los Angeles.  I like that about LA, there are many, many hidden treasures here.

After taking this last photo, there was a loud commotion on the level below me.  All I could see were branches of bushes moving violently, it may have been a mountain lion attacking something.  Or the ghost of an old boy scout...
