Hollywood Sign - Iconic Landmark in Los Angeles #3516198 (License: Personal Use)

The Hollywood Sign, originally erected in 1923 as “HOLLYWOODLAND,” now reads “HOLLYWOOD” and spans 45 feet tall across the southern slope of Mount Lee in the Santa Monica Mountains. Its white letters contrast vividly against golden chaparral and deep blue skies, often photographed from Griffith Observatory or Lake Hollywood Park. Though inaccessible to the public, it remains one of the most recognized cultural symbols globally.
