Description
I took this the same night as the other picture of the Alamo in my gallery.
I am currently a bit under the weather due to a fiendish foe called mountain cedar. "The ashe juniper (aka, mountain cedar) is a plant that chokes out hardwood trees, is a terrible consumer of water resources, and produces one of the most insidious allergens in Texas. Known as Cedar Fever, the allergic reactions to pollen dropped by male mountain juniper (or cedar) trees is quite stressful. Every year, from December to February, residents and visitors report runny noses, asthma attacks, sinusitis and flu-like symptoms due to pollen. To avoid cedar fever, local allergists suggest staying indoors, sleeping and/or driving with the windows closed, praying for rain to clear the air, using over-the-counter antihistamines and leaving town" ("PLANT COMMUNITIES OF THE EDWARDS PLATEAU OF TEXAS" by David H. Ruskin and David D. Diamond) Unfortunately, leaving town is not a viable option for me. If I could wipe out the lot around San Antonio, I would do so and become an instant heroine to most San Antonions. The above quote came from a website called peopleagainstcedars.com. They are not overly loved around here. It is speculated that over grazing led to their takeover of land that was mostly grassland before. If my comments become somewhat terse for a while, it will be because I am typing them between sneezes.
Thanks for viewing, and reading this ranting and for previous comments and favs!

This has a really nice texture to it...and it's a little bit spooky. The way the night just looms off to one side while the stone work is so hard and defiant and craggly like some old man (with dentures) threatening to whack anybody who comes to near with his cane. The POV is unique and really engaging; it makes me a little bit dizzy trying to figure out which "up" is the "up" you took this picture looking at. I love that. This is really great work.
