Monrovia High School Panorama
With all the work being planned to add to and rehab the high school, I keep going back to capture the views of the school that may not exist much longer.
I've taken many shots, and so have many others, of the bell tower and entrance in the center there. This time I wanted give an idea of what the school looks like if you're standing out on the sidewalk and can see across the entire front.

Tash, thanks for the research. I didn't know who designed it, that really helps!
Laurie: Thanks!
