More Shots from the Riverwalk Business District

While the northern end of the Business District section of the Riverwalk has changed, other parts of it haven't changed that much. Here are some more photos from this section.





What I particularly like about the last one is that the shadows make it look like the staircase is actually more of a helix climbing the building.

The Riverwalk as it Once Was

One of the interesting things about having taken photos for so many years of the same areas is that you end up with photos of the way things used to be. The photos below show what the Riverwalk's north end looked like from the mid-sixties up until the early 2000's when the Museum District work began. A waterfall and more that no longer exist...






First photo is the bridge for Lexington Avenue which is just to the south of this old waterfall, and then continuing along the last bit of the path to the northern end of the Riverwalk at that time.

More of the Skies over Pedernales

Some more shots of the interesting skies and wispy clouds over Pedernales Falls.




Hope you enjoy looking at them at least as much as I did taking them!

More Selections of the Flora from Around Town

A few more interesting specimens from around San Antonio.





As the final photo shows, it is not uncommon to find heart shaped Cactus here. Gives new meaning to "Deep in the heart of Texas" :-)

A Different Look at the Witte Museum

Here are a few shots from around the Witte Museum here in San Antonio, of things you might not normally notice during a visit.




The first shot is of particular interest as the Elephant sculpture came from a Circus Museum that used to be located downtown near the Riverwalk. That museum is being converted, and so the Witte rescued this sculpture and it's twin.
