Carmel Mission
This is the Mission San Carlos Borroméo del río Carmelo or as it’s better known, The Carmel Mission. The mission was first established in Carmel in 1771. The Carmel Mission is considered to be the most authentically restored Franciscan mission. It’s courtyard and gardens are just beautiful and even with lots of people roaming around was very peaceful and serene. This is the front courtyard and facade of the chapel.

An imposing (lovely) facade! I bet the interior is cool though.

Lovely shot, Edith. We absolutely loved Carmel when we drove down Highway 1. We were only really expecting to stop one night there but ended up staying for two.

Thanks Andy. I know exactly what you mean. We fell in love with Carmel and ended up spending more time there then we thought we would.

Well done, Edith. I know from experience that this is not an easy subject to capture being basically north facing and, from what I can judge from the shadows, this shot was taken around the middle of the day. You got a much better result than I did.

Thanks Stanley. You’re actually right the mission was established in Monterey Bay in 1770 but then moved to Carmel By The Sea in 1771.

You’re right Bob there’s noting bad to see but sometimes there’s nothing to see at all if the fog rolls in 🙂 That’s what happened to me at one point in Big Sur.
