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 […]

I regret only taking two pictures in Onekama, MI. These shots were taken outside of the Onekama Library.

The Boys Are Back in Town | Manistee, MI

June 6, 2012 by E. Casa de Calvo

I have many great memories of good people and good times. The quiet times were also enjoyable; many peaceful strolls along the beach and even a little bit of swimming. I can’t tell you how nice it is to swim in a large body of water without worrying about critters. The Great Lakes are grrreat!

Mackinac Island Mainland | Mackinac Island, MI

May 30, 2012 by E. Casa de Calvo

I truly regret not getting more photos of the homes and buildings on this island. I was having too much fun I guess. This is one of the most beautiful getaways I’ve ever been on. Most travel is done by bike, buggy, or foot, which means a lot of exercise and outdoor time. The historic element is amazing. It is as if the town is preserved in time, a pristine reflection of the Victorian era.

St. Ignace Lighthouse | St. Ignace, MI

May 24, 2012 by E. Casa de Calvo

Michigan gets more beautiful the further north you go. St. Ignace is one of those northern towns. It has many beautiful attractions and is a primary port for ferries transporting people to and from Mackinac Island. This set of pictures was taken at the docks near the St. Ignace Lighthouse.

Fuel Station | Ropesville, TX

May 24, 2012 by E. Casa de Calvo

Ropesville is located about 30 minutes southwest of Lubbock, TX. These photos were taken from a gas station located right off of the highway. This was a common stopping point on road trips. There isn’t anything too impressive about this particular gas station, but what did impress me was the scale, everything seems bigger in Texas!

Garza Hotel and Theater | Post, TX

May 22, 2012 by E. Casa de Calvo

Post is a small town about 45 minutes away from Lubbock, TX. This was often a stopping point on the way out of town. These pictures were taken on a Sunday afternoon, which explains why it looks so desolate.

National Ranching Heritage Center (Exterior) | Lubbock, TX

May 20, 2012 by E. Casa de Calvo

The center covers a lot of ground; over twenty acres. You can take a mini journey thorough the ranching history of the area by touring restored structures (homes, barns, schoolhouses, etc.). The tour begins with a dirt floor structure, and ends with a modern day structure. It is a walk through time. Some structures are even open for exploration.

West Texas Views | Levelland, TX

May 10, 2012 by E. Casa de Calvo

Levelland is about forty minutes away from Lubbock, TX. This is a nice drive if you want to get out of town for a while (assuming you live in Lubbock). Plenty of fields and sky to admire on the way, and a beautiful park and town square to enjoy when you arrive.
