Day 117 Getty Fountain

I went to the Getty Museum today with Justin and Brian. Unfortunately, the sun was way too bright for many good pictures. We had fun anyway and are planning another short outing real soon. These fountains are kind of nice to look at and I'm sure they would photograph much better later in the day.
