San Antonio Emily Morgan Hotel

The iconic Emily Morgan Hotel, 705 E Houston St, San Antonio, TX, is an architectural masterpiece lighting up the San Antonio skyline and overlooking the historic battlegrounds of the Alamo!

Emily Morgan (or Emily West) is the girl considered the "Yellow Rose of Texas." According to legend, Sam Houston sent her into Santa Anna's camp to distract him so the Mexican Army could be defeated at San Jacinto, hence providing for Texas independence. It is widely held that Emily Morgan was the inspiration for the much-loved song, "The Yellow Rose of Texas," written shortly after the war.

Often considered one of the best Gothic revival buildings in the United States, the Emily Morgan Hotel was built in 1926 and was original known as the Medical Arts Building. It is 13 stories high, crowned with a fine tower, adorned with numerous gargoyles, and located next to the Alamo. The Official Hotel of the Alamo offers a bit of vintage charm mixed with modern decor and luxurious amenities.

Tree Canopy In San Antonio, TX

A lush tree canopy gives shade, filters out pollutants, cools sidewalks and buildings and is beautiful to look at. Cities that have a large amount of tree canopy coverage are more healthy and attractive.

What do trees tell us about the urban environment? Places that have more trees have better air and less water pollution. Trees cool the city by absorbing sunlight and releasing water through evapotranspiration. They serve as wind barriers, provide oxygen, conserve energy, save water, help prevent water pollution, reduce violence, provide habitat for urban wildlife and increase property values.

The lacy appearence of this Live Oak tree canopy adds a certain elegance to this San Antonio courtyard.

Contrabando Film Set

There is a 50 mile scenic drive along the Rio Grande on Texas Highway 170 between Lajitas and Presidio. It runs along the southern boundary of the Texas Big Bend Ranch State Park. Among the many beautiful sites is the movie set Contrabando.

The Contrabando movie set is named for a nearby canyon and not a movie. Built in 1985 for the western "Uphill All the Way", it saw steady use for 20 years. Two Larry McMurtry books - Streets of Laredo and Dead Man Walk - were filmed here. Heavy flooding in 2008 inundated the set in eight feet of water. It survived and has been repaired, waiting for the next Oscar winner to be filmed here.

The River Road (a.k.a. FM 170) is one of the most spectacular drives in Texas. Running alongside the Rio Grande, this is Far West Texas at its best.

Saint Anthony Of Padua

St. Anthony was born in the year 1195 at Lisbon, Portugal. His wealthy family wanted him to be a great nobleman, but for the sake of Christ he became a poor Franciscan Priest.

After getting stranded and being sick, Saint Anthony lived in a cave at San Paolo leaving only to attend Mass and sweep the nearby monastery. One day when a scheduled speaker failed to appear, the brothers pressed him into speaking. He impressed them so that he was thereafter constantly travelling, evangelizing, preaching, and teaching theology through Italy and France. A gifted speaker, he attracted crowds everywhere he went, speaking in multiple tongues.

Anthony died on June 13, 1231, being only thirty six year old. Pope Gregory IX enrolled him among the saints in the very next year. At Padua, a magnificent basilica was built in his honor, his holy relics were entombed there in 1263.

San Diego Night Sky

San Diego is an appealing city to photograph at night. Its downtown skyline contains no super-talls, as a regulation put in place by the Federal Aviation Administration in the 1970s set a 500 feet (152 m) limit on the height of buildings due to the proximity of San Diego International Airport. An iconic description of the skyline includes its skyscrapers being compared to the tools of a toolbox, because several of its buildings look like tools.

Harbor Drive provides an awesome view of San Diego bay and down town. Come here with your favorite gal on a clear night or day for a nice romantic spot to take it all in. Bring a basket of snacks and drinks, throw down a blanket and have a little picnic. It's one of those spots your date is sure not to forget!
