Mission Accomplished

Looking at the map on the wall of my study, I still find it hard to believe I have visited all 21 California Missions.

Mission San Diego

Elephant Seal Habitat near San Simeon

Mission San Gabriel

Mission San Luis Rey

A not very successful panorama from my cell phone, but it gives you an idea how the three altars look like under the dome.

Mission La Purisima Concepcion

Mission San Juan Capistrano

Mission San Fernando Rey de Espana

A small Mission but in active use. I waited a couple of minutes for Sunday Mass to finish.

Beautiful sculptures on the wall, it was imported from Italy.

With high ISO, my camera sees better than my eyes.

Wood cut of Bible stories.

There is a beautiful garden across the street. Walking to my car, I noticed a lesbian couple shooting wedding photos there. I had an urge to volunteer to do their wedding photos. Alas, they already hired a photographer (outside the picture on the right).
