The Pala Mission

This is the last working California mission, ministering to American Indians - the rest of the missions in the state are museum pieces. The Pala Mission looks just about the way it did when it was built in 1816. The mission is at the base of the Palomar Mountains, along Highway 76, east of the Interstate 15 freeway.

A very nice image and even a more interesting story.

Well done

I would like to visit all of the missions. The only one I have been to is San Juan Capistrano. Other than holding Sunday Church Services in the santuary, it is basically a tourist attraction now. This is a great shot!
