Houston's oldest active cemetery (1871), set on a bluff overlooking Buffalo Bayou. Live oaks, historic mausoleums, and an unobstructed downtown skyline view from the upper drives.

Creator notes
What works here
Respect-first: this is an active cemetery. Stay on paved drives, never on graves. The downtown skyline shot is from near the Howard Hughes plot. Mornings best for soft light and emptiness.

Lighting
East light filters through oak canopy; skyline reads cleanly from the bluff.
