What works here
Get there before sunset for warm light on the wall; stay through blue hour when the fountain is uplit. A wide lens captures the full curve. Avoid tripods on busy weekends — security may ask you to move.
Practical
Plan the shoot
Best time
One hour before sunset through blue hour
Lighting
West-facing wall catches golden hour cleanly; uplighting kicks in after sundown.
Crowd
Busy evenings, especially weekends and prom/wedding season
Parking
Free lot east of the fountain; fills early on weekends
