Tall commemorative column at the Yorktown waterfront—photograph the monument with the York River and Colonial Parkway for layered compositions. Best at sunrise or golden hour for warm side-lighting and reflections; sunset offers dramatic skies behind the column. Easily accessible from Main St with public parking nearby, no entry fee; wheelchair‑friendly paths along the river. Weekday mornings are quieter; combine with nearby historic buildings and cannons for context.
