Whirlweekend in Long Beach, CA

I went to college in Long Beach, CA and lived there for nearly 8 years. I try to make it back down to visit friends at least a couple of times per year, though that seems more and more difficult to do as the years go by. Usually, those are just very hurried trips, without a lot of sightseeing. So, since we had an unfilled afternoon, I tried to take advantage of it and get in a bit of photography along the way.
