Sunday Afternoon on the Riverwalk

You can be born in and live in the same city for most of your life and still find undiscovered gems within its heart.  Peter took an impressive photo a few months ago that looked somewhat like an Aztec pyramid.  Certainly this couldn't be in San Antonio, much less along the Riverwalk.  

The San Antonio River Ecosystem Restoration is an ongoing project and is drawing San Antonio natives back into the heart.  The latest restoration project is south of the King William Historic District, near the Blue Star Arts Complex;  this is the Eagleland Project.  There are abandoned grain silos along this part of the river that look like small pyramids in photos.  


Today was one of the few beautiful days we've had this January.  Peter and I spent late morning and early afternoon on the Riverwalk taking photos.  I was looking for the grain silos and was surprised at how small they are up close and personal.

Below, I offer the outcome of today's adventure.  

Photo taken with my Sony alpha, cropped to emphasize the pyramid shape, and manipulated in Photoshop to enhance the effect.




The original photo is included for reference.  




There are little gems all around us that can hold glimmers of inspiration.


Enjoy the rest of the night, my lovelies, Monday morning comes all too soon.
