Photographer Captures LA 'Ghost Cats' The December issue of National Geographic features a spread of stunning photographs under the headline, "Tigers Forever." They are dramatic and beautiful evidence of the mountain lions that live in metropolitan Los Angeles — with one shown in Griffith Park with the Hollywood sign in the background. They're the work of photographer Steve Winter. (You can see some of Steve Winter's mountain lion photographs at KCRW.com/whichwaylablog .)
