Description
I was set up long before the dawn looking for just this light. As the autumn sun crept over the horizon, the famous Mission San Xavier in the desert south of Tucson, Arizona was momentarily bathed in this wonderful, warm light just long enough to snap a couple of frames in both horizontal and vertical formats.
Mission San Xavier is one of the oldest active congregations in North America, and it is located just a few miles south of Tucson, along the banks of the Santa Cruz River.
Construction of the Mission San Xavier commenced 230 years ago, and was ended in 1797. I say ended, because the east bell tower was never finished. Restoration of the interior was completed in 1997, and work on the exterior continues today. The west bell tower restoration was completed in 2008.
