Houston Heights Boulevard Esplanade

The Heights' mile-long oak-canopied median that hosts rotating outdoor sculpture exhibits ("True North"). Walking path between the two streets.

What works here

Walk south to north for the sculptures. Wide shots get the tree tunnel; medium shots for the art pieces with bungalow houses behind. Sundays during the Sculpture stroll are golden but crowded.
