One of the most photogenic locations in the Los Angeles area is the Getty Center, with incredible architecture and, marine layer permitting, expansive views all the way out to Catalina Island. The shapes and textures are an absolute delight to compose images with. Every time I visit, I see new superpositions of architectural elements and new lines to be followed.

Here is a study focusing on the interplay of curves and straight lines, with shadows adding weight to the predominantly white features of the buildings.
