Mission Concepción Facade

I took a quick trip to Mission Concepción this morning. I got there pretty early in an attempt to avoid the heat.

The architecture at Mission Concepción is very interesting. It’s very much worth a visit.

Window At The Little Church

Stained glass window and pulpit at “The Little Church of La Villita” in downtown San Antonio. The cornerstone of the church was laid in 1879.

I shot this during a recent trip to the river walk with my son and his friends. It was fun seeing it again – my wife and I were married in this chapel over 28 years ago.

I made a trip to downtown San Antonio yesterday with my son and a couple of his friends. I grabbed this shot of the Alamo while we were there.

William Barret Travis as Portrayed Alamo Reenactment Participant

William Barret Travis was a leader during the final days of the defense of the Alamo.

In one of his famous letters from the Alamo, Travis stated “The enemy has demanded a surrender at discretion, otherwise, the garrison are to be put to the sword, if the fort is taken — I have answered the demand with a cannon shot, & our flag still waves proudly from the walls — I shall never surrender or retreat”.
