Under the bright glare of multiple construction lights, the 405 freeway looks different from the vantage point of a nearby parking lot. I watched a construction worker hard at work, fixing structure that supports it.

Los Angeles is known for its freeways, that stretch long and wide to connect the city with the rest of the country. It has some of the most amazing freeways I've seen. They represent the blood line of the city. They contribute to making this one of the most attractive places to live. With transportation, comes a lively commerce. To accommodate the large population that live and work here, I often see the freeways being repaired and expanded to allow for heavy flow. I appreciate the job of the construction worker, because he enables the smoother flow of traffic.

It intrigues me to watch people from different professions work. Tonight I observed the construction worker and the conditions that he works under, up close. Each person plays an important role in the operation of the city, no matter what they do for a living.
