Buffalo Bayou Park Underpasses

The bridge underpasses along Buffalo Bayou Park are painted with rotating large-scale murals. Concrete columns + bayou foreground = strong leading lines.

What works here

Mornings give the best diffused light under the bridges. Use the columns as leading lines toward your subject. Cyclists and joggers move through fast — plan for short shoot windows.
