Something better may come along

060616

I have a thing for photographing interiors of abandoned buildings. You probably noticed that by now. I found this place one evening in San Antonio, and the low sun gave me some good light bouncing around the remnants of a now-closed business.

But anyway, if you were planning a trip around a meal at Murphy’s Deli, you might want to reconsider.

Vines and a sign

There was a gap in the flow of tourists that was just long enough for me to get this shot of a sign, with its nice wavy lines at the bottom, and the formerly ivy-clad wall behind it.

Mirror Maze

I am not sure what the Mirror Maze could offer inside that’s any better than what you can see on the outside – weathered brick, arches over the windows, a fire escape.

Me, to myself, walking down the street: Wait. I need to get those shadows!

Did I say it out loud? Probably.

Papel picado

Colorful* papel picado banners decorate the historic market square in San Antonio. This Mexican folk art is traditionally chiseled from sheets of tissue paper, but plastic versions are becoming more common.
