Purisima

When I visited Mission Dolores (San Francisco de Asis) last August, it was an amazing feeling to stand in the original 18th century mission chapel. But eventually I left the old church and entered the newer basilica (built in 1918). There I found a series of beautiful stained glass windows depicting the original 21 California missions. I managed to photograph most of them, and today I’m sharing one group of these gorgeous mission windows.
