Description
It is thanks to the Emily Morgan Hotel, (now part of the Doubletree/Hilton) that I started noticing the wonderful old architecture of San Antonio. It definitely reminds me of the Flatiron Building in Manhattan, with both buildings sharing the form and ornamentation of the Gothic Revival that was the norm for skyscrapers back in the Roaring Twenties! In order to do justice to a building like this, you definitely must use a tilt/shift lens, which keeps all the lines going upward parallel.
Standing on the Alamo Square, next to the Cenotaph/Memorial depicted in my previous image, I waited for the streetcar to see if I could converge its lines with the hotel's. Thanks for looking!

Beautiful architectural image. I especially like the added interest of the trolley passing by.
