Pink-granite obelisk at the northern end of Hermann Park, aligned on the reflecting pool with the Sam Houston statue and the Mecom Fountain beyond — a clean axial composition.

Creator notes
What works here
Shoot down the reflecting-pool axis from the south so the obelisk, statue, and fountain stack up. The pool mirrors the obelisk on a still morning. Golden hour warms the granite.
Practical
Plan the shoot
Best time
Early morning for a still reflecting pool
Lighting
Granite catches warm light at sunrise and sunset; harsh and pale midday.
