I love the geometry. Colors/shadows are also great for that study of different shapes.

I'm wondering whether the line formed by the two different colors on the left wall wouldn't be better higher or lower to avoid a "V" shape with the line created by the shadow on the right wall. Well, my wording is confused as are my thoughts… I'm sorry.

francois, thanks for commenting.  I should have accompanied this image with why I took a picture of it.  I liked how the lines in the image neatly divided the two dimensions of the photograph into four different colors and shades.  Also, the v-shape of the lines create a slight optical illusion of a three-dimensional object -- take another look.

Lived there for two years.

Great shot!

Thanks,  Slobodan.  My parents lived in Hollywood for many years.  Even though not considered a "sexy" city, I always liked its slightly blue collar and seedy vibe.

Thanks a lot for the info. FWIW, I like it a lot as it is and was just wondering about taking a slightly different point of view (probably not better).
