EL SEGUNDO, CA — As October nears its end, it's time for cooler weather, shorter days and pumpkins. It's also National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and for the second time in three years, Los Angeles County and the City of El Segundo have painted Tower 60 pink.

Edward Martinez of the County of Los Angeles Department of Beaches and Harbors Operational Services Division took this shot of Tower 60 after it got its new (temporary) paint job.
