Rainy Day Photos – L.A. River and Ballona Creek

Creek Freak reader Peter Bennet sent us some impressive photographs of the Los Angeles River and Ballona Creek; photos showing the huge differences between everyday flows and during large storms.

This pair was taken on Ballona  looking downstream from the Overland Avenue Bridge in Culver City:
