1. Los Angeles County Museum of Art, LACMA
You have surely seen the comedy “No strings attached” or “No commitment” where Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher star in a particular fight surrounded by a series of streetlights. A pretty bright place, by the way. If you remember and if you don't, this place has become a must if you visit the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, LACMA. It brings together a large number of artistic works and sculptures from around the world, mostly Latin American art.
In 2008, the artist Chris Burden decided to carry out an intervention in the museum: Urban Lights, which today would be a symbol of the city, next to the Hollywood sign, the Planetarium and the Paseo de la fame. The work is made up of 202 streetlights dating from the 1920s and 1930s located along the entire coast of southern California. Fun fact, on the occasion of its tenth anniversary, the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation offered to replace the light bulbs with LED bulbs in order to reduce the environmental impact of the artwork.
Leaving aside the historical data, the best shot of this place, needless to say, takes place at night.

Otherwise, you will have to delete the people with some tool or app, and what you want is for your photo to be instantaneous. You can play with the lines of the place and make some creative and original pose.
2. THE MYTHICAL HOLLYWOOD POSTER
It is not the least important but it is the most recognized. It would be very strange to meet someone who doesn't know where the Hollywood sign is. Before we get into the PHOTO, do you know from what year and the reason why the Hollywood sign is there?
It officially appears in the year 1923 and was originally “Hollywoodland”, it made reference to a marketing campaign for a development that would be located on the hill of Mount Lee, it was made up of 4.000 bulbs illuminating the hill in the distance. However, as the American film industry settled in the Hollywood area, its promoters thought it would be a good idea to leave the symbol so that it would already be part of the scene. It was during the 60s, when the poster was already completely abandoned, when they decided to shorten it and leave it only in "Hollywood".
If you are thinking of taking the photo, we must mention something that might make you think twice: Getting there is difficult to access. Becoming a cultural heritage of the city, it is a very crowded place, many parked cars and lines of people looking to do exactly the same as you. So you can go in the morning hours and during the week, where you may find fewer people.
