A whimsical painted water tower known as “George” standing above downtown Los Alamos — a graphic subject against New Mexico sky and Jemez/ Sangre de Cristo ridgelines. Shoot details of the mural, wide scenes that place the tower within town and mountains, and night silhouettes. Easily accessible from Loma Del Escolar St with street parking; no entry required. Best at golden hour or blue hour; weekdays are quieter. Note local history and lab-town culture when framing people or signs.
