Houston

Houston, to me, is a city that’s working to discover it’s identity. The city is, currently, a mismatch of cultures, architectural styles, environments, etc. That being said, it’s the city I call home, and it’s been fun exploring everything it has to offer, over the years.

Over the past decade or so, the Houston area has gone through quite a few changes that’ve brought along numerous skyscraper projects, many new bars and clubs, as well as a slew of restaurants, public art pieces, rail extensions, and people from all over the country; it’s as if the city is ever-expanding.

Here are some of my favorite photos I’ve taken around Houston, throughout the past few years.

San Antonio Missions National Park

In 2022, I spent a day exploring the San Antonio Missions National Historical Park, which includes the five missions located in the city: San José, Espada, San Juan, Concepción, and the Alamo. The park, and the missions, became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2015. They’re also a part of the United States National Park service.

Each mission was established along the San Antonio River, and were created to convert the natives in the area to Catholicism and to have them join the Spanish Empire, back in the 18th century.

Much of the properties are still intact, and have been restored, during the 1900s. I’d recommend you checking the missions out, next time you’re in San Antonio. Here are some of the photos I captured during my time exploring the missions.
