Summary
English: Panoramic shot of the Los Angeles Basin from Mulholland Drive.
The Pacific Ocean is to the far right. The downtown Los Angeles skyline is the tallest of the buildings to the left (there are many hidden buildings behind other buildings; the skyline looks small but isn't really). The Hollywood Bowl is to the bottom.
Starting in the center-right part of the photo and going farther away, the hill/mountain ranges, in order from closest to viewpoint to farthest, are Baldwin Hills, Palos Verdes Peninsula, and Santa Catalina Island, 20 miles offshore.
The entire basin is urbanized except for small farming spots east of Long Beach and into the Inland Empire, 20 miles east of downtown Los Angeles, and many random undeveloped parcels, waiting to be developed, in otherwise urbanized areas.
