Looking West, the new air traffic control tower dominates the view (here only the base and middle portions are seen).  The new tower is far taller and larger than the original one behind us, and all of the airports taxiways and runways are  visible from the new tower.  Behind the tower, and behind the parking structures, running the full length of the view, is the Bradley International Terminal.  This is where most of LAX's international flights arrive, and numerous large airliners can be seen on the far left and far right.  Most international flights flown by foreign carriers arrive here to offload their passengers who then decend into the huge lower level occupied by the U.S. Customs Service facility.  Far in the background, to the left and right of the tower, are LAX's original aircraft hangers.

The parking structure in the background just to the right of the tower provides a number of good views of the northern portion of the Bradley Terminal and of Terminal number 3.  On the western side of the Bradely Terminal is a waiting room with large windows which offer good views of departing aircraft, and up-close photo opportunities for aircraft using the north/south taxiway just to the west of the terminal.
