A Place to Retire
This is one of the older buildings at the Minnesota Veteran's Home. It was the original administration building. It was once called the Old Soldier’s Home and was established in 1887 for indigent veterans of the Civil War. It is located on a 51 acre wooded campus overlooking the Mississippi River near Minnehaha Falls. Their philosophy is a “willingness to serve in an environment of person-centered care with compassion, accountability, respect and dignity with excellence as our standard.” The Home provides skilled nursing care, which includes Alzheimer’s/dementia care, domiciliary care and adult day care will be available in the near future. This photo was taken in the TrueHDR app. Below is a circa 1900 photo of this building and a mapquest view of where this building is located.

Bay Pines VA Post Office
The Bay Pines VA in St. Petersburg has beautiful buildings and this is the Post Office. What a great place to mail a letter. Photo was taken with the Camera+ app using the Clarity scene, FX Effect of Diana and an offset border. Who knew snail mail could be so exciting?
