Downtown San Antonio, Texas
I have been taking pictures of my city since I was nine years old. I try to capture every view as possible and take a lot of passion into my shots.

Nice. It even gives a classier impression than the bigger T cities.

Very nice. Cool views from what I'm guessing is the Tower Life Building?

The Model very nice pictures of a city rarely shown here. Even though it lacks skyscrapers it looks to be like a very charming city!

There was a 2 or 3 that were taken from the Tower Life Building.

Very nice views of San Antonio! Thanks for your shots, they look like postcards.

I´ve liked those water channels with those crowded boats sailing over them. It looks similiar to Venice. I didn´t expect to see San Antonio as a so green city...

Congrats and greetings from Madrid, Spain.

San Antonio does an amazing job of landscaping its downtown with sub-tropical plants. It really has the best landscaping and greenery of any downtown in Texas. And yes, some of it is even natural. There are 50 to 60+ foot tall cypress trees along the riverwalk. They create an amazing canopy, which is much appreciated in the summertime for their shade. Around Christmas they wrap them with lights.

Beautiful photos, Raul. I'm also excited about the 500-600 footer Frost Bank tower approved for downtown as well as the other proposed high rise structures.

I can only imagine the revenue Rauls Photograpy LLC loses annually because of pirated photos of San Antonio Texas. Maybe if you made the watermark bigger to even further reduce the risk of Pirating that happens from posting photos in a open forum. Nice pics anyways even with that annoying placed watermark.

I've never been to Texas, but based on the pictures this appears to be the place most worth a visit!
