The hills to the left of Elysian Park in the current photo, are the hills in the background (left) of the 1922 brochure photo above. Today, houses, freeways and trees obscure the exact matching views. Differences in lenses, format, lighting and atmospheric conditions make the hills look closer in the earlier photo. Similarly, neighbors often ponder how some days the San Gabriel Mountains appear taller than usual.
