A stark, industrial landmark perched on Alexander Pier offering graphic silhouettes against sea and sky. Shoot the tower with leading lines from the pier, reflections in wet stones at low tide, and dramatic sunsets/blue hour over Belfast Lough. Easy walk-on access from harbour car parks; no entry fee. Best at sunrise or golden hour for warm light, or blue hour for long-exposure color. Watch for strong winds and slippery surfaces; tide and weather dictate compositions.
