Non-denominational meditation chapel housing fourteen large Rothko canvases. The Broken Obelisk reflecting pool outside is one of Houston's quietest photographable spots.

Creator notes
What works here
No photography inside the chapel — it's enforced. The Broken Obelisk and reflecting pool out front are the shot. Visit on an overcast day so the pool surface stays flat and matte.
Practical
Plan the shoot
Best time
Overcast mornings; otherwise blue hour for the obelisk silhouette
Lighting
Soft, even light on overcast days is ideal; midday sun creates harsh reflections on the pool.
Crowd
Low; reverent atmosphere — keep distance from visitors
