Exactly what the title says - the pit and the pendulum in the entry of the Griffith Park Observatory. The Pendulum swings, the earth rotates... it's quite fascinating!
The pit itself is a perfect circle, and the pendulum a sphere. The wide angle and perspective may distort these shapes a bit. I don't expect this to have much of a DPC wow factor....
But I had a blast going there with Dale and Mae - thanks, guys!

im surprised i only gave this a six...i'm pretty sure it's because i think i saw another, not as appealing, shot from the same location first when i was voting. totally unfair, i should have rated this higher, i love the perspective, the slight distortion and the b&w treatment.
Love this shot, Deb. It really captures the fascination people have with the pendulum. The shot was definitely worth the walk up that hill to the observatory!
