Carolyn: That is an amazing shot of the sky over the mission. Something we never see here.
Oh, Carolyn! That is "my" mission! I went there with my fourth grade class and my high school performed next to it at the San Gabriel Auditorium! I grew up in Arcadia, which isn't far away. I saw that the bell tower had to be repaired after one of the frequent earthquakes near LA. I took my own two children to visit it and was pleased to see the little miniature missions still there! Thank you for the memories!
Awesome! Love these photos of the skie sover the mission.
What a beautiful mission. I love all the old bells.
Gorgeous. What a place. I like your photos very much.
Terrific shot, Carolyn! Love those old missions and they are perfect for a sky shot like these! Hope you have a super weekend!

It reminds me of my days as a schoolgirl in California. We had to learn all about the missions.
Thank you for the award. I was just about to work on that last night when I got a phone call, "where are you, it's ladies game night". Sometimes I think I get too involved with the blogging.
beautiful architecture!!! I love the sky through the holes in the building! California is so beautiful! Happy SkyWatch =)
Carolyn: this is truly unique. I love it!

Really like the symmetry in the photos. Have a great weekend and don't slip on any glossy floors LOL
The mission is beautiful. The cross on top seems to be pointing to heaven as the clouds seem to have parted for just enough blue. Nice place sitting under a fair weather cloudy sky...
nice building that accompanies the sky. :)
No quiet meditation here :-)
Beautiful compositions.
Love the way that the sky is captured through the windows. Beautiful pics.
