Description: ANSWER: The photo shows only a portion of one of the most unusual and picturesque places in the Los Angeles area - Lake Shrine of the Self Realization Federation, 'way out on Sunset Blvd. in the vicinity of Santa Ynez Canyon. What a field day this place offers photographers! Or just plain, wide-eyed tourists, for that matter. Beautiful spot with a strange calmness and where, in a shrine just behind the impressive portal in the photo, is a portion of the ashes of Mahatma Gandhi.
Golden Lotus Archway.
KNOW YOUR CITY, NO.233 -- Pretty doggone picturesque, huh? If you've ever seen this, you've never forgotten. If not, give up. You'll never guess. If not within the Los Angeles limits, it's close to it. To shorten the agony, see Page 3, Part 2.
