Hermann Park Reflection Pool

The long axial reflecting pool stretching south from the Sam Houston statue to the Pioneer Memorial — symmetry, palm trees, classic park composition.

Stand at the north end (Sam Houston statue) for the leading-line shot down the pool. Symmetrical reflection at first light when the water is still. Avoid windy afternoons.
