nearly destroyed by an earthquake that didn't make a lot of news, Mission San Miguel was closed to public for years while loving souls donated their time and money to restore the mission. Work is still going on. Only a small portion is open to the public. I am putting this in the technical gallery because I'm having a fit of angst here trying to figure out should I crop or should I leave the silhouette of the camera/tripod. If I were doing a bromoil print (which I will at some time) no problem with the shadow, I can turn that into what ever I want to, but this is a print.
