The Event Space

You already know that I’ll look through windows of vacant and decrepit buildings. But I will also look inside event tents on the grounds of a resort hotel. How else would I have seen this?

A stunning vacancy

121016

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.

Angles of Confusion

Typical convention-center carpeting, with shadows of doors and windows – that’s what I saw at the conference…

And so, another day ends, with the Saint in the sun and his flowers in shadow.

Here’s a little different view of the movie set church from a couple of years ago.
