Downtown | Red Wing, MN

May 16, 2018 by E. Casa de Calvo

Red Wing is located on the Mississippi River. It is known for natural attractions, nearby Frontenac State Park is popular for birdwatching. It is also known for, you guessed it, Red Wing Shoes and Red Wing Stoneware. Most towns situated on the Mississippi make for beautiful places to visit. This town is no exception, and has a lot of historic charm.

Historic Montréal | Montréal, Canada

May 1, 2017 by E. Casa de Calvo

The first photo in this series is of my hotel room at Parc Suites Hotel, 3463 Park Ave, Montreal, QC H2X 2H6, Canada (parcsuites.com). I’m sure there are fancier, newer places to stay nearby, but I greatly enjoyed this particular hotel because of the cozy feel of the rooms and friendliness of the staff. You feel like you are staying in your own downtown apartment. From this location you are able to walk in all directions, exploring each corner of […]

Modern Montréal | Montréal, Canada

May 1, 2017 by E. Casa de Calvo

Montréal is a vibrant city, mixed with historic and modern architecture. These photos were taken on a stroll around the city. I usually jot down the names of the streets and major locations, but I was having too much fun sightseeing, and completely forgot to take notes. Anyhow, you’ll just have to visit to see these places for yourself!

The Guenther House | San Antonio, TX

December 23, 2013 by E. Casa de Calvo

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.

Canal Street | New Orleans, LA

September 10, 2012 by E. Casa de Calvo

The first few pictures (theater and street car lines) were taken at the beginning of Canal Street. The next four pictures were taken at the end of Canal, which stops at the Mississippi river. While on this trip, my camera and I got caught in a rain storm. My first love, my first fancy camera, died on this trip. RIP. The last three pictures in this set were taken by a disposable camera at various spots around New Orleans. I […]

Downtown | Boise, ID

May 3, 2012 by E. Casa de Calvo

While I lived in Boise, the state capitol building seemed to be under constant construction. It may have since been fully renovated. Another impressive aspect was the town’s cleanliness (no sarcasm implied; it was unusually clean). I have yet to visit a comparable city, except perhaps for Des Moines, IA. Finally, if you are ever in the neighborhood, you must visit the Egyptian Theater. It was established in 1927, and has been beautifully maintained. I’ll never forget watching “It’s a […]
