Cautionary Tale

I can be pretty intuitive, sometimes, and I think maybe staying out of this alleyway would be a very good idea.

Streets are full of life

There’s something going on here. I’m just not sure what it is.

The reason for vertical elements

The vertical elements here serve to anchor the curving parts in the frame.

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.
