Houston

Texas, United States

Houston's sprawling, low-rise grid and famously open skies make for long, unobstructed sightlines down hundreds of streets. The flat Gulf Coast setting means the sun stays low for longer, stretching golden hour and giving alignments a noticeably warm, diffuse quality.
