CAPTURE NEW HORIZONS

I visited San Antonio in Texas last weekend with the sole purpose of seeing The Alamo , which was on my 'must see' list of historic sites.   However I found myself with a few more hours in hand before I headed back up the highway to Austin so I decided to take in some of the views of San Antonio and this included taking the River Walk Boat Tour. San Antonio has some beautiful old buildings lining the River Walk district and from the boat I got to see a lot of them in a short space of time during the 45 minute tour.  The boat tour guide / captain was extremely informative and I can highly recommend it for anyone visiting San Antonio. The River Walk was the brainchild of Robert H Hugman who presented his ideas to the city in 1929.  Because of the Depression in the early 1930s the plans didn't get underway until later in the decade and the River Walk was finally opened in 1941 with a river festival and carnival.  Robert Hugman's statue stands on...

The architecture in Düsseldorf is a mixture of the old and the new with lots of building work going on in the city centre. With blue skies and temperatures touching 35 degrees centigrade it was the perfect opportunity to take some images of the buildings in the centre of Düsseldorf. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PLEASE SUPPORT THIS BLOG BY VISITING THE ADVERTISERS ON THIS PAGE By clicking on the adverts you are helping support this blog - thank you. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ALL IMAGES ARE THE PROPERTY OF MACLEAN PHOTOGRAPHIC AND CANNOT BE USED FOR ANY PURPOSE WITHOUT PRIOR PERMISSION MacLean Photographic run Tours and Workshops in East Lothian and the Borders of Scotland.   CLICK HERE  for more details and availability Jeff Carter is was recentl...
