Hollywood Sign

  Rising above the Hollywood Hills in Los Angeles, the Hollywood Sign stands as an iconic emblem of the film industry. Built in 1923, this notable landmark was originally an advertisement for a housing development called “Hollywoodland.” Each of the 14 letters measures 45 feet tall, making it a striking feature against the skyline. Visitors can view the structure from various vantage points, particularly along Griffith Park, which offers trails leading to picturesque overlooks. It’s especially popular to photograph during the clear days of October, as the visibility reveals a stunning panorama of the city beneath the sign.
