This is an old historic brewhouse. Where they used to make Pearl Beer. My company owns the whole site, and is meticulously restoring all the buildings. This one won't look like this for long. The outside already takes your breath away compared to what it looked like before. Over the years, the previous owners had painted 14 layers of icky ugly paint over the most beautiful rich brick -- but now -- it is like the original -- and it is GORGEOUS! Someday, this will most likely be the home of some very well-to-do condo owner as it overlooks downtown San Antonio and will be quite highly priced! My pictures will always serve as history preserved :)

a very different photograph sandy from you ..
love the building .. it looks so old and full of character .. how incredible that they painted all that beautiful old brickwork .. the ghostly figure give this another fantastic dimension .. :)
Sandy, I was one of your 9's on this. I really love the ethereal feeling here with the "ghost." I also think the stairway on the side provides a lot of extra interest to the shot.
I came here looking for your BEST OF pic and did not see one :( So I will comment on this one that I missed! I love this fun and ghostly photo. You gave the viewer a little something more to look at besides the structure. I have to say I love those stairs leading away on the right. Makes me wonder where they go.
Its funny I would have never associated this image with you and this makes me love it even more!!!
Beautifully dark and the 'ghost' figure really adds a whole heap of atmospheric ambience. Wonderful composition that shows that great photographers can make the mundane seem striking
This is a wonderful photo Sandy. It has a lot of interesting points to it. I think that it was a daring move submitting a photo on this site with a ghost like figure in it. I feel that it adds a interting point to the picture. But a lot of people will think that the picture is just blury. 38th is still a great finish.Congrats
This is a great photo. The blurred person is perfect against the cold elements in the floor, the wall and the pillars. I believe it will be historical photo. Brilliant, Sandy!
What a great space! And a darn nice photo too! I think the use of the moving person really adds something great to the image - i just wonder about the placement of the stairwell and the doorway being slightly cropped out - but that is SOOOOOO minor!
I love old places like this, and you have a wonderful talent for photographing them. I like the spiral stariway in the back in this as well as the big columns. I am happy for you that you have an occupation that lets you use your talent for something that you enjoy so much.
