Remember the Alamo!

"There were 'big stars' at the Alamo! Bowie, Crockett! It is a huge political event because it, and the events at Goliad and San Jacinto, changed the look of a map of America. America would be a very different place if Texas had remained Mexican."

I like the massive oak trees, I wonder if they were here during the fight at the Alamo.

I saw this on the trending page and it just grabbed me. I had to see it in a larger format and yes, it is gorgeous! And I enjoyed the history on the Alamo!

Ohh so great to see a picture from the city I was born and raised. Just love the rich history that is to be found in Texas. Always enjoy visiting the missions, especially the Alamo! Wonderful capture!

Thank you all for commenting on my photo of the Alamo. San Antonio is so photogenic that even though we returned over a week ago, I still have photos to post in addition to all the ones I already have.

That tree is gorgeous!

It is so lush there. I didn't get that feeling while we were there, but you sure captured it.
