It’s silly, but I think part of why I’m drawn to live in LA is that sunsets like this—
—remind me of the original cover of Gravity’s Rainbow—
—which I never actually even owned (my copy during high school was the one with a blueprint (that is to say a cyanotype) of a V-2 rocket on the cover), but at some point I saw a picture of the original dust jacket online, and I always thought about it and how I wanted to live in that vibe. I know, I know, the artist meant to evoke an old-world European skyline and a WWII-era bloody sunset, but who cares what they meant to evoke! I found it here in LA.
