Angelino Heights located near the Echo Park area, is a unique and a well preserved section of Victorian-era homes . You can also see, from the distance, the skyline of downtown Los Angeles.
More than 50 homes in the area have different architectural styles, such as Queen Anne and Eastlake Victorian Mission Revival, Crafts,am/California Bungalow, Brownstone and Streamline Modern.
I do not know which ones, but two of these homes were used as sets for some TV shows such as Charmed and Journeyman.
All photos were taken along Carroll Avenue
The 1300 block of Carroll Avenue is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and in 1983 the entire area was declared as Los Angeles’ first historic district.

Echo Park is a historic area, located north west of downtown Los Angeles. It is also in close proximity of Hollywood. It used to be the center of the film industry just before World War I, before the movie studios moved to Hollywood.
This is a man made lake where you can see the skyline of downtown LA. The lake used to be the home of the famous lotus up until three years ago. I have read that they will be closing the lake in December, and to reopen after two years.
In the middle of the lake is a huge fountain. Around it is a hiker’s path.
Paddle boats are not there anymore.
Also a good place just to sit back and relax
Our hiking group is going to meet up at month’s end for a hike around the lake. One of the members come here every morning at 8:00 and there is this goose named “Maria” that follows him around. I am not joining this hike because I will be in my other photography group doing beach scenes.
