Mission San Xavier, Tucson AZ

My wife has a disdain for DSLRs and had a chance to take these images while I was at
work. Granted these were taken in P mode (more like Auto for my wife). I did some tweaking
in LR.

Here is the info. about the Mission itself.

I think she did pretty good Sury, I’m not sure about the hill at the bottom of the frame one, I think I would like to see a bit more of the actual hill but the other two look fine to me. The mission history is interesting, boy those early missionaries must have been dedicated to try and build a church in a remote location back in those days.

Doc,
I have been hinting at a new body for a week now. I have been telling
her that camera is "acting up" and the images for review are coming up
instantaneously etc. :wink:
So far she has not budge(te)d yet.

Greg,
How about this one?

I guess so Sury although I'm still not clear as to what the white dome and cross would be doing on top of a hill consisting of large rocks and what is the ramp/road and other oddments in the photo?

Greg,
That would be a mystery since I did not visit the mission and my wife does not recollect the significance.
Here are couple of interior shots of the Mission.
