Jack Swords Photographs Baja's Rare Sites


With so many new Nomads who might find them of interest, I will tell you about Jack Swords who lives half the year in La Paz and spends his time seeking out off the beaten path historic sites.

More well known are Jack's photos of the missions in Baja found at http://vivabaja.com/bajamissions It was Jack that lead the expedition to Mision San Pedro Martir, Baja's most remote... Baja Nomads that went with Jack included Taco de Baja, Pappy and Mexitron.

Besides missions, Jack seeks to find the lesser known sites and record them before they disappear...

Here are many of Jack's photos: http://vivabaja.com/swords with captions explaing where they were taken.

The most recent discoveries and photos by Jack can be viewed here: http://community-2.webtv.net/drdrip/swords These are of the church of San Blas and the La Paz mission visita site of Angel de la Guarda.

Here are just some samples of Jack's Baja photos:

Aquaduct near Rancho La Presa/ Mision Dolores Chilla (La Pasion)
