Monday, May 18, 2009 – Olive Hill

When Frank Lloyd Wright built the 1921 Hollyhock House on Olive Hill, now Barnsdall Park, Hollywood Boulevard at Vermont, he planned a theater community for the thirty-six acre site.  The hill is now an arts community, somewhat as planned. And the views are amazing – but he didn't see them.  The Hollywood sign went up in 1923, and the Griffith Park Observatory in the early thirties.

If you wish to use any of these photos for commercial purposes I assume you'll discuss that with me. And should you choose to download any of these images and use them invoking the "fair use" provisions of the Copyright Act of 1976, please provide credit, and, on the web, a link back to this site.

Technical Note:

These photographs were taken with a Nikon D200 – the lenses used were AF-S Nikkor 18-70 mm 1:35-4.5G ED, or AF Nikkor 70-300 mm telephoto.  The high-resolution photography here was modified for web posting using Adobe Photoshop 7.0 software.
