Perry Monument
Late-19th-century granite column honoring Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry on Erie’s bayfront — strong vertical subject against Lake Erie and city skyline. Photograph monument details, dramatic silhouettes at sunrise/sunset, and reflections from nearby water. Public park setting with free access and street parking; wheelchair-accessible paths. Best light: golden hour and blue hour for silhouettes and warm stone tones. Weekday mornings are quieter; winter brings stark minimalism and ice textures.
