i have more photos that i will upload in the coming days, just need to sort through them. the video was shot from the 2nd rooftop i was on that day, the other one had limited visibility of the freeway. had tried to get in to the coroner's office to find a high up window, but was denied.

Nice video, I recall as I was sitting handcuffed that the clouds were particularly beautiful that evening.
