Venice of America

Bridge Reflected on River

Here is an image of a bridge lit from underneath and reflected on the water. This is known as the Venice of America in San Antonio, Texas. The water is from the San Antonio River, which has been dammed and the flow diverted to create this 'Venice'. The area is full of shopping in a 3 floor mall, eateries, hotels, and other places of interest. Architecture is beautiful and the landscaping work of tropical trees adds to the effect. The lights reflected here after sunset were dazzling. The entire area is gorgeous by day or night. Water taxis (low powered speed boats) taxi patrons back and forth at regular intervals. Buildings also open to the street side. Locals, as well as tourists, love this area! I look forward to going back!

Foliage in San Antonio

At Switzerland of America: San Antonio, TX

I photographed this as the sun hit this plant at the perfect angles to make the palm tree look lit up from below. The vibrant shades of green visible in its leaves would not have been possible to capture by camera otherwise. This piece was exhibited at an art show.

Beach view visible from mountain in Costa Rica

Beach View from Mountain at Ruins in Costa Rica

As I rode horseback up a mountain nearby a beach in Costa Rica, I stopped at some ruins to photograph the distant view. The waves crashing against the shore were visible; as was the city. From there, it didn't look like there was a lot of sand on this beach. But I assure you, there was while I was below the mountain. The lush greenery was right up against the ruins with the columns and arches. The crumbling facade was reminiscent of a time long ago. Yet the structure stood strong against many a storm. The stone of the ruins was surprisingly bleached white; possibly, from the exposure to strong sunlight at elevation above sea level. The trek down is always easier than the trek up. Even my horse felt the difference as he trotted back down carrying his load, me as a passenger, with ease. He was anxious to gallop, but I held him at bay. He seemed to be anxious to leave the ruins and I couldn't help but wonder; what had his wise eyes seen over the years that I hadn't and never would?
