Cathedral Square overlooking the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception (catholic) is popular.

Bienville Square for the the oaks and the fountain. Both squares are along Dauphin Street downtown.

Church Street East has Spanish Plaza and the little -known British Park (can't remember what street it's on but it's closer to the coliseum.

Washington Square in Oakleigh Garden District has fountain and the famous Iron Deer that many use for pics, plus there is a huge oak tree that has low-hanging limbs you can climb/sit on. From Government Street, take Chatham.
In same area is Magnolia Cemetary (S. Ann/Virginia Streets)- many love to take photos of the beautiful statuary.

The loop area has a Memorial there that people use for pics, too.

When you go across the bay in the Daphne,Al area there is a good view of the bay mainly because of the high elavation of Daphne, Al/ Spanish Fort,Al.Also check out the Mobile Tensaw Delta s well very very scenic. There are a couple of neighborhoods on Springhill ave. that have ribbon thin streets with huge huge oak trees drapping over them with spanish moss hanging from the trees and I would recomend the monastary on Springhill ave with the 200 + year old palms in front of it.last but not least you have to visit and take pics of the old Fort Conde Village right next to the Fort Conde just follow the 300 year old brick streets, The Fort Conde village is Alabama`s oldest neighborhood and and aslo [part of the original Mobile steel has the old world street scape and all !!

Dauphin Island. Fairly private beaches, nice boardwalks in the bird sanctuary and on public beach.
Cottage Hill park is a popular place to take children's photos.
