But, it isn't really urban desolation. It's more suburban soon-to-be-developed. If I had turned 180 degress and taken another shot in the opposite direction, it would look entirely different and you wouldn't even be able to tell it's the same place. The reason the lamp has that elegant "gaslight" look is because this is in The Dominion, a suburban gated community that is the ritziest place in all of San Antonio and is where all the most affluent live.
