Another example from my collection - for no particular reason other than something should be posted. Continuing with selections of Missions of California, San Gabriel is an interesting place with loads of local So. Cal. history. The church itself is much more photogenic than that at the [to me] more familiar Mission San Fernando. All of the Missions have been the subject of much imaging; photographing really starting with some of the exceptional work of Carleton E. Watkins that was completed in the 1870s and 1880s.
