Also, if you look closely at the hills behind, you can see the Hollywood sign. Good choice staying on the right side of the aircraft, the starboard view of regular LAX landings is much nicer than the port view. Although if you're lucky to have the reverse approach from the west, over the ocean, I guess either side is fine!

Glad you enjoyed In'n'Out, the LAX/Westchester location is great on a sunny day before a flight. Great burgers and great views of planes landing (even if most of them are WN 737s )
Thanks so much for the tip! definately right side was the better option, although when I flew in yesterday morning didnt realise it was going to be dark coming in so got nothing decent! (also the fact that row 26 on Vaus doesnt get you a window!).

I will fix up the photo comment now! thanks
