Mission Hills, California, United States

Driving north on the 405 freeway through the northern end of the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles County at 6:00pm, the height of rush hour. At the exact point where the 405 passes under the 5, which is just a couple hundred yards before the 405 ends, there is a weekday ritual of car-horn-honking performed by those who are, unfortunately, stuck in traffic. Recorded with a Sony ECM-MS907 into a Sharp MD-MS702.
