The day we visited the San Juan Capistrano Mission was a beautifully clear day. The blue sky is a gorgeous back drop for the earthen bricks. If I was an advanced painter, I would recreate this. Hum...maybe I'll just make a print and frame it.
This was part of a mural inside one of the rooms. The mural is much larger (more than double) than what I captured. I enjoyed this part of the mural because it just portrayed love and warmth. I could envision life in the mission.
All these bricks were handmade by local Indians. To think that each brick was made and set one by one is breath taking.

Vines, beautiful vines! Victor is not on his cell phone. We were given a phone like device that provided an auditory tour of each room's function during mission life.
