The 4-mile parkway along Buffalo Bayou connecting downtown to Memorial Park. Light-rail-style cyclist path on the north side, skyline views to the east, the iconic "Be Someone" graffiti train trestle along the route (do NOT cross the tracks).

Creator notes
What works here
Cycle or e-scooter the whole corridor — there are pull-offs every 1/4 mile. "Be Someone" is best photographed from Allen Pkwy at street level looking up at the trestle. Never approach the rail line itself.
Practical
Plan the shoot
Best time
Sunrise — light hits the skyline + minimal traffic
Lighting
East-facing skyline at sunrise; trees filter mid-day light along the path.
Crowd
Cyclists from sunrise; cars all day on the parkway
