This is the first of four videos that I shot with my AT&T Samsung cell phone of the Griffith Observatory on Sunday Jan 15 2012 at about 1 o'clock in the afternoon in California, Los Angles Pacific Standard Time.

This shows the exterior of the building with me describing what I am seeing and reading from the displays from the Department of Recreation and Parks.

You can access some of the information from here:

You can see all kinds of good stuff and links to FREE government sites.

I think one of the best things in life are the ones that are FREE! Wouldn't you agree?

And here's a link to Google Maps to show you were it is:
