San Fernando Mission Grounds

Here are the last of my photos from the San Fernando Mission in southern California, this time focusing on the beautiful grounds. This arch stood out against the blue sky.
This large expanse of grass and trees was relaxing.
This series of columns is very famous.
I always love fountains.
Since it's a mission I'm linking this to Inspired Sunday, and of course to Our World Tuesday. I will be without my main PC for a couple of weeks as it's getting repaired so I may not be able to comment on your blogs.

    Fascinating. Spanish influence is very clear. And I could almost see Clint Eastwood in the background! Lovely, warm, building.

    It is beautiful and peaceful looking --- those guys knew what they were doing!

    Hope your computer gets well soon. I have tried to comment on blogs using my IPAD, but it is so hard and confusing I have about given up on that.
