Retro signs, wallpaper and keys. At these motels, the delight is in the details
I am a photo fellow at the L.A. Times, and recently spent three days photographing for the Motel California project at the Skyview Los Alamos. What immediately struck me was how tucked away in the hills the motel was, even with its close proximity to the freeway. While only two hours away from L.A., I felt like I was in a totally different place. I captured the iconic yellow 'Motel' sign by the pool, the turquoise Moke shuttle, and lots of unique fixtures. Having three days to photograph an assignment is rare in daily news, so I felt lucky to be able to spend more time in certain spots of the property and reshoot in different lighting situations. Good light is critical to making a good photo, so I made the most of golden hour during my visit. All of the pops of orange, yellow and teal around the property complemented warm light well. I loved that most of the plants were succulents and cactuses, giving the place a desert feel on the Central Coast. When I look at all the photos as a whole, I feel the sense of calm and warmth I experienced while I was there. — Juliana Yamada, photography fellow

The National Weather Service said people should prepare for a three-to-five-hour period of steady light to moderate rain with some moments of heavy rain. Forecasters said rainfall rates should be around one-third to two-thirds of an inch in most areas. The mountain communities should also expect snowfall with snow levels between 4,500 to 5,500 feet. KCAL News Meteorologist Alex Bison said there is a possibility of thunderstorms heading into the afternoon caused by unstable air. There could be breaks of sunshine throughout the day, but the NWS said it should remain fairly gloomy. The rain should start to weaken heading into the evening. A warming trend will quickly develop Sunday, and the rest of the weekend should remain dry.
