The city of San Antonio, Texas is built around the San Antonio River, unlike any city we have experienced in the United States. Development along the river front attracts tourists from all over. This long exposure photograph was taken while tourists road a barge down this section of River Walk. Visit San Antonio, Texas in 2024 to celebrate the 175th Anniversary of the Battle of The Alamo.

Really nice photo, what a cool setting. Looks like a great place to have a meal and glass of wine and watch the river boats go by.
It IS the place to enjoy a meal and drink. This is where the river gets crowded with tourists flocking for a night out. The restaurant with all the colorful umbrellas is the most photographed part of the River Walk. Obviously, we contributed to that.

We have heard Malaysia is a wonderful place too.
It looks very lively and fun there! Like Miami almost
Still cheaper than Miami, and no Ferraris cruising down the river… yet.
I can understand why the river is popular with tourists! What a great place for a meal! Did you find that the locals also hung out on the river or mostly tourists?
My assumption is that its mostly tourists and business people. The river is lined with little stands selling hand made jewelry and barge tours are constantly going on. It doesn’t seem like a lot of locals. I think like any city, it’s typically only those that are there on business or for pleasure that will spend time strolling up and down. You will find locals enjoying the river beyond the crowded tourist sections. The river will eventually have 13 miles of walkway, which means it spans well into the normal neighborhoods where you see locals jogging and walking their dogs. There is also a river taxi.
This looks very lively…somehow reminds me of Milan…
Looove that Mexican restaurant on the left!
Yup, that’s the famous one, mostly for its colorful umbrellas. We didn’t eat there though, so I can’t comment on their food.
I had the good fortune to visit San Antonio some years ago….charming.
I was told that the time to really enjoy River Walk is at Christmas. The
lights and decorations are incredible. I also heard that many couples honeymoon there. As usual, Jason, your photo is GREAT!
I never thought of visiting during Christmas, but I can imagine it must be beautiful. The bridges and water probably provide an incredible landscape for decorating. Thanks Marlene!
Lovely shot. The lights are gorgeous.
Great long exposure capture guys. These are one of my favourite shots to take. The city seems to take on a whole new feel at night doesn’t it?
It is fun to experiment. I took about 20 shots while Aracely and Andrew @BrooklynNomad sat patiently and waited for me. In the end, I got this one cool shot.
