I recently went to San Antonio for a business convention and had a little time to run around the city and see the sites.


This is the interior of Mission Concepcion which dates from the 1730's which is pretty freaking old for Texas.


The Alamo


This is Mission Espada which also dates from the 1730s.


Rosas Window, which is considered to be one of the greatest examples of Spanish colonial architecture in the southwest at Mission San Jose, which dates from the 1720s.

All of these and more missions are located within 20 miles of downtown San Antonio.

^Nice photos man. I've been to San Antonio, but only briefly, and all I really had time to do was eat, and sleep(flew from Nashville to SA, then drove to Monterrey, and flew back to Nashville from SA). Anyways, San Antonio's missions are amazing, but its always been weird to me that San Antonio's skyline is how it is considering the city's size.

Looking forward to more photos.

San Antonio has a very well preserved downtown with tons of awesome vistas from the street. It has a large amount of art deco which I didn't expect. I can't wait to go back and spend more time there.

Great shots, and yeah, San Antonio is freaking awesome! Well-preserved architectural history, and a generally fun vibe all around. Definitely my favorite large Texas city, no doubt!

This was taken at a small rodeo in Keremeos, BC near Penticton.

PS: I am not a fan of rodeos so I left before the calf roping.

^This is about to sound redneck as hell, but do you have anymore photos from the rodeo? Not a fan of them either, although I've been to my fair share of them, but that photo you just posted is pretty cool.

Thanks.

Here are a few more. They are a great place for action shots.









Fortunately for this guy, it didn't end as badly as it could have been

Finally managed to upload a month's worth of photos now that my wifi is working again. Randoms from each shoot.
