It was close to the ocean and you could feel the ocean in the air but you couldn't see water from the front of the place. Aster Drive had a long smooth curve there and the houses on the inland side were just nice houses, but on the canyon side they were great silent estates, with twelve foot walls and wrought-iron gates and orna-mental hedges; and, inside, if you could get inside, a special brand of sunshine, very quiet, put up in noise-proof containers just for the upper classes.
(RAYMOND CHANDLER'S LOS ANGELES, A photographic Odyssey accompanied by passages from Chandler's greatest works, by Elizabeth Ward and Alain Silver, 1987)
