The 1922/1932 aerial photos of Los Angeles were taken more or less above the LA County Museum looking eastwards

The Last Word On Nothing
"Science says the first word on everything, and the last word on nothing" - Victor Hugo
Based on the profile of the hills and the layout of the streets, I believe the two pictures were taken just south of Wilshire looking north. The single tall white building in the 1932 shot is the E. Clem Wilson Building (now with a giant Samsung sign on it), built in 1929.
