City of Angels from a bird's-eye view

September 4 is the founding day of the city of Los Angeles. This legendary city, the capital of the stars, appeared on the place where Indians have long settled, and in 1781, the Spaniards founded a settlement here called "The Village of the Virgin Mary, Queen of Angels".

Today, for many, Los Angeles is a symbol of cloudless life, for someone-a huge metropolis that is not quite suitable for normal existence. On the birthday of the City of Angels, we offer you to see spectacular photos of the city taken from a bird's-eye view.
