Diane,
My thoughts were that the interplay betwee the mission and those background cliffs has great potential as a scenic shot. With different lighting
conditions there could be different interpretations. I know I would have invested some time in that. Morning vs evening.
But the fence kills the idea. Cutting the building in half to show the cliffs doesn't work. Having a sliver of the background showing also sucks. The
totality is needed to make the point.
I find the relationship between these missions and their environment to be very interesting. The Loreto Mission for me lacks that magice. San Javier
has it.
But when a mission deteriorates to a mound of sand it does little for me visually.

Now THAT'S a road!  
Seriously enjoy the 'natural' 2-track roads of old Baja than the wide graded/ washboard, 'improved' roads that replaced them!

Those are great Cindi. The resizing is done when you are ready to upload from your PC to your Photobucket album... Click "Customize Your Upload
Options" (in blue text) in the box that pops up when you click to upload. Then choose an upload size and click SAVE (800 pixels is the max. requested
by Doug, and 640 is a good size, as well).

One of my absolute favorite places in all of Baja. The valley, the mission and grounds, the family with so much history there, the road in and out -
it all adds up to a magical place. Sitting inside that mission when no one is there is incredible.
David, if you don't mind here is a post on our blog of a trip to San Borja.

Not only do I have no time to post pics right now, but I'm unsure about the process. If the link is not apprpriate, I'll come back and post some pics
when I have time.

These are my photos from New Years Day 2002. I got a personal tour from young Genaro. He didn't speak any English, and I didn't speak any Spanish (at the time), but we
got along great.

Great pics geoffff!
San Borja is the furthest north stone mission in Old California. I saw Genero driving a truck towards Rosarito on my last visit in 2009.
