cleaning day
Remember two days ago ago when I mentioned how much I liked to watch sidewalks being hosed down?
I watched this guy for a long time – he not only hosed down the sidewalk but hit the bridge supports, too. The water was pumped out of the river and the runoff went straight back into it – in case you were wondering about that and also maybe if you were wondering if there’s a difference between “clean” and “wet.” But at any rate, here you go with a non-touristy view of the Riverwalk.

I went to grad school in New Orleans, and that’s where I learned that the most enjoyable times (for me) in the French Quarter were early in the morning. It feeds into (1) my dislike of crowds and (2) my interest in seeing the behind-the-scenes parts of things. In NOLA, there was always someone hosing down a sidewalk, which for some reason I liked to watch.
Anyway, the same theory holds on the Riverwalk in San Antonio – an early-morning stroll was empty of people…a nice thing for a photographer like me.

This? Just a guy in a horse-drawn carriage in downtown San Antonio. You know, a normal thing that you see. Sometimes.

I watched this guy for a while – he was busy painting the stripes on the street and parking lot along North Harbor Drive. I imagine that he was getting ready for summer tourist season. Finally.
