Marcela's Nightingale Bridge
This channel to the L.A River reminds me of elementary school. I would walk this bridge with my mom to come pick up my sister and my brother from Nightingale middle school. I liked to cross the bridge because it gave a nice view of the river and freeway. You heard the sound of whooshing cars and could even see a little piece of the lonely river right beside the freeway. You could see some graffiti on the river as well as the incredibly tagged up bridge.
This river isn't a regular typical river, the rain influences it's size I think because when it rains it looks a look more full of water. If the L.A River were to be a traditional big river with fish and boulders with trees I would spend more time here and I would spend more time here and I wold love it because it would represent a sense of nature beauty too L.A.
