Default Great pictures Elnina,

Did you you different colored light filters for those pictures? They seem so accurate as far as colors go.

Not at all. All pictures were taken with Nokia phone.

St. Mary's Church (Nokia Lumia 1020)
The church, build in January, 1924; and finished in August of the same year, modified Romanesque designed by architect F.B. Gaenslen, was modeled after Sacred Heart Church in Lowell Massachusetts. There is a seating capacity of one thousand in the church and two hundred more in the choir loft. When the new structure was built, the original interior was a simple flat white, until the company Griewe, Incorporated, of Cincinnati, Ohio was hired to do the present decoration in 1956.

The Sheraton Gunter Hotel is a historic hotel in Downtown San Antonio, built in 1909 and designed by St. Louis architect John Mauran. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The Gunter Hotel opened on November 20, 1909, on the site of the earlier Mahncke Hotel. The eight-story, 301-room hotel was built by the San Antonio Hotel Company and named for, Jot Gunter, a local rancher and real estate developer who was one of its financiers.
Gunter Hotel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I am not sure why the gorgeous crystal chandeliers are now inside round shades, and practically invisible.
And ornate columns are covered with a draped fabrics. Obnoxious color changing light is added, and the whole spirit of this amazing hotel lobby is just, sadly gone. It's a historic place for God's sake!
