Mission San Juan Bautista, California. I was scouting this location for an upcoming photoshoot, and took a moment to capture some of the iconic scenes in this historic mission. The 21 California Missions stretch from San Diego (the first built, era 1769) in the south some 450 miles north to San Franicsco (the last built era 1823.) These missions are historical landmarks and many still operate as Catholic Church, and run along the route known as Mission Trail, the path of modern day Highway 101.
This shot was taken in fading light, using a handheld 70-200mm lens with vibration reduction.
