Fun little bit of local history - Griffith Park was the site of a number of hippie love-ins in the 60s! There is a Facebook page dedicated to the memories of those events, and from there I found this page of photos from back then. Their description:Griffith Park, Sunday Afternoon...
The sounds of musicians. The smell of patchouli oil, incense and weed. Pissed off cops. Shady characters. Acquaintances, good friends and lovers. People so high on 2-Way Orange Sunshine with speed in it that they presented a problem for the air traffic controllers at Los Angeles International Airport. What more could a long haired hippie photographer dream of? Did I mention the smell of weed?
