Description

From Wikipedia:

"Mission San Juan Capistrano was founded on All Saints Day November 1, 1776 by Spanish Catholics of the Franciscan Order. Named for a 15th century theologian and "warrior priest" who resided in the Abruzzo region of Italy, San Juan Capistrano has the distinction of being home to the oldest building in California still in use, a chapel built in 1782; known alternately as "Serra's Chapel" and "Father Serra's Church," it is the only extant structure wherein it has been documented that the padre officiated over mass. One of the best known of the Alta California missions (and one of the few missions to have actually been founded twice — others being Mission San Gabriel Arcángel and Mission La Purísima Concepción) — the site was originally consecrated on October 30, 1775 by Father Fermín Lasuén, but was quickly abandoned due to unrest among the indigenous population in San Diego."

This is one in a series of several photographs I took on the grounds of La Misión de San Juan Capistrano de Sajavit, or The Mission of Saint John Capistrano of Sajavit. This is a calm and peaceful corner within one of the arcades that surround the courtyards on the mission grounds.

I took the original digital photograph using a Nikon D70. I used a series of photographs of places of interest and beauty in the Southern California area to teach myself not only digital photography but Photoshop as well. Basically it was always - Gee, I wonder what would happen if I did...?
