Summer Road Trip- Carnage on Rodeo Drive

So there we were, acting all posh and sophisticated while window shopping on Rodeo Drive. Suddenly, above us...a hawk flew down the street with a pigeon in it's claws! The hawk landed in a palm tree and proceeded to eat the pigeon. Such an unlikely thing to happen in a place like Rodeo Drive, right?

Let me tell you, it stopped all foot traffic. Feathers would float down from the palm tree as the pigeon was consumed.

I got some advice on the best angle to catch this shot from a nice homeless man in a wheelchair. He pretty much insisted that I do it his way. He was right.

Brian, who was not into window shopping- or any shopping- of any kind- just wanted to watch the hawk.
