Eight-acre lake at the center of Hermann Park, with pedal boats, a small island, fountains, and Medical Center towers rising behind. The most-shot water feature in central Houston.

Creator notes
What works here
Pedal-boat rentals add color in the foreground; rent one and shoot from the water for an unusual angle. Skyline-of-towers shots best from the east bank facing west.
Practical
Plan the shoot
Best time
Late afternoon for boat-and-skyline; blue hour for tower lights
Lighting
East-bank shots are front-lit at sunset; fountains lit after dark.
