Great photo of an awesome Rolex

The air looks reasonably clear over LA given the high traffic volumes in that city.
However, California has quite tight exhaust emission controls for motor vehicles.

Is Mulholland Drive nearby....as that has a reputation for lots of cars/bikes zoooming along.

The air is MUCH cleaner than it was, say 30 years ago.

Yes, Mulholland is not too far from where that photo was taken, but no more racing on Mulholland, too many patrols. You do see quite a few exotic cars "cruising" the area though.

Yep, 'bout an hour or so from the OP's photo. Me and the wife in front, and a buddy and his wife on Mulholland in Malibu Canyon...
