Photographer / Programmer Dave Bullock has not been taking our recent, hopefully-ending-just-now stretch of June Gloom lying down.

Instead, he’s taken it upon himself to explore and photograph the more vacant, industrial sections of Los Angeles … which include some great shots of the Los Angeles River — both with and without some visiting birds.

It’s different from the nature photography I usually like to show off, but they’re interesting photos of a little-seen part of L.A. — and one that will hopefully soon be freed from its concrete boundaries.
