Well-secured ruins

I don’t know what used to go on at this place, but it was kept secure at least.

This contrast of building materials caught my attention.

The day was much, much more dreary than I’d hoped it would be – I had some photographer friends in town for a show and of course we wanted to get out and shoot.

The weather appeared to be uncooperative. Until I saw this. Then it seemed like the weather was smarter than I was.

So, the whole town looks more or less like this place. I loved it there!

A stunning vacancy

I have a bit of a fascination with this building. On two different work trips to San Antonio, I could see it from my hotel room. Of course, I photographed it. It looms over the River Walk, and I’ve photographed it from there as well.

From what I can tell it’s the only building along this part of the River Walk that’s vacant. That raises a lot of questions. Is there some terrible flaw that makes it unsuited for redevelopment?  Was an awful crime committed there? Is it tied up in legalities?

Also, from what I can tell, it’s got potential.

And it’ll be a sad day for me if I get back to San Antonio and the place has been torn down.
