Two-block landscaped plaza in the heart of the Texas Medical Center, with reflecting water features, sculpture, and the wall of TMC tower architecture rising on every side.

Creator notes
What works here
Wide-angle skyward to catch the surrounding towers; long lens for compressed building stacks. Stay out of hospital entry zones — no patient identifiability in shots. Avoid weekday mornings when shift change crowds the plaza.
Practical
Plan the shoot
Best time
Weekend mornings; weekday late afternoons
Lighting
Tower shadows shift fast; mid-afternoon east light is most consistent.
