23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest The American Experience
The Alamo on a dark stormy October night.

My husband and I were on a haunted pub crawl downtown San Antonio. The Alamo was about a midway stop and it was probably the most beautiful part of it. I didn’t expect it to be so breathtaking so I had to stop and it was a night that there was a storm in the forecast it did come later in the night, but here the storm clouds are showing.
