5 carefully curated photography spots with GPS coordinates, shooting tips, and local insights

Best at golden hour (sunrise for pastel skies, late afternoon for warm side light).

Bring bug protection in warm months; tower access is often closed so plan for exterior compositions. Weekdays and early morning
