JUNE 11

Galveston TX

Hotel Galvez had a 100th Anniversary celebration this weekend. They've renovated it again, now back to original.
This place has withstood many, many hurricanes.

Looks like a well built old place and the perfect subject for architectural photography. Very nice shot Lynn.

It's a fine looking building and I like your shot with the tall palm trees echoing t he towers.

I had actually read a story in a magazine 2 weeks ago about this hotel turning 100! We stayed there one weekend prior to a cruise. It was nice back then, probably even better now with the renovation. Understand they re-established the main entrance per the original design. The palms are looking a bit rough... Jv

The hotel could use your shot in its brochures - well done, great composition and clarity. Inviting entrance! V
