Baker Hotel | Mineral Wells, TX

September 10, 2014 by E. Casa de Calvo

The story of The Baker Hotel is one of triumph and decline, and hopefully a glorious rebirth! Talks are underway about restoring and re-opening the hotel, but it may take considerable effort as funds are still needed. For years the hotel was a beacon for those seeking healing through mineral water therapy, and attracted many famous people of the day. Mineral water still exists in these parts, but the hotel now primarily attracts urban explorers and ghost hunters. I hope […]

Snoopy’s | Corpus Christi, TX

February 6, 2014 by E. Casa de Calvo

These pictures show the route my dog and I would take along the shoreline for morning walks. According to my dog, there is no better place to poop than on the shoreline (I always pick it up, of course). The one hazy looking picture is of a Spanish style house off of a main shoreline street. This is architecturally an interesting home, but I like this picture because it shows the heavy haze of fog seen most mornings. There is also […]

USS Lexington | Corpus Christi, TX

January 22, 2014 by E. Casa de Calvo

The Corpus Christi Bay houses a number of attractions. These pictures were taken while visiting the USS Lexington and the Texas State Aquarium. You can swim in the bay, but you’ll see far more fishers than swimmers. It goes without saying that Texas is hot in the summers, but Corpus is unbelievably hot and humid. The original photos had such a haze that the color was grayish. The colors have been adjusted a bit, perhaps too much. Anyhow, I hope […]

The Guenther House is a beautifully restored home belonging to Carl Guenther, founder of Pioneer Flour Mills (est. 1898). The home is located in downtown San Antonio on the San Antonio River. This property also contains a museum and restaurant. The food is delicious and the atmosphere is amazing.

Highway 77 | Robstown, TX

March 8, 2013 by E. Casa de Calvo

If you have ever lived in south Texas, you know that there are only two seasons: really hot (summer) and muggy/rainy (winter). Usually there isn’t much to be desired about the rainy season; mud everywhere and mosquitoes the size of hummingbirds. The one thing that is nice about this time of year is watching the sky turn beautiful colors before and after a storm. I captured these photos while driving home one afternoon. Half were taken near the Richard M. […]

Port A | Port Aransas, TX

February 2, 2013 by E. Casa de Calvo

Port A, as the locals call it, is about 35 minutes away from Corpus Christi, TX. Here you will find snow birds and die hard locals. This isn’t a fancy resort spot, but it is clean and friendly. If you want beach time without crowds, this is the place to be.

South Texas Sunday | Riviera, TX

July 8, 2012 by E. Casa de Calvo

These photos were taken while on a drive to the country side. If you happen to live in these parts, you’ll know that everywhere is technically the “country side.” The Our Lady of Consolation church is located south of Kingsville, TX on Country Road 628. This church has a fascinating history; established around 1908, served as a school, convent, and place of worship for early settlers. If you are hungry after church, you can keep going east on Country Road […]
