This is at the top of a really awesome, winding hill through Hollywoodland - one of my favorite looking spots in LA. (I love LA architecture because its all either art deco or spanish...it looks like it was built in the 20s, expanded in the 40s, and frozen in the 70s.) Hollywoodland has a really cool, old-LA feel.
It makes you take a new approach to framing, and also, lets be honest - it makes every shot awesome because panoramas are awesome
