Looking east from Palos Verdes. The Vincent Thomas Bridge is at the right, the Harbor Fwy is at the bottom, and Downtown Long Beach is in about the center of the photo.

I've been driving through the Port of Los Angeles/Long Beach often recently, and I'm always astounded at vast amount of activity going on here. There are probably 100,000 containers visible in this photo.

We sometimes forget the long and circuitous journey things take on their way to our doorstep.
