A decade ago the town of San Antonio underwent a massive face-lift
where old buildings were pulled down and new ideas were put in place. The towns
streets were changed with a different one-way traffic system installed and down
on the seafront over twenty-five metres of land was reclaimed from the sea to
make way for a new promenade and finally at a huge expense a multitude of palm
trees were planted. Therefore, I thought it might be a good
idea and hopefully interesting for some folk out there to be able to look back
at what the town was like before, during and after this extensive face-lift by
showing a photographic journal of ten pictures a week from the selection that
I captured over the period of time it took to complete this face-lift of San Antonio. These
initial ten pictures may not appeal to some people because the whole town looks
like a huge building site, which in fact is was, but as we progress week by week
youll be able to see the new from the old take shape which eventually will
become the new-fangled San Antonio.
