Thank you!

Great shots.
I found out that originally the exterior walls were covered with white plaster & adorned with very colorful tiles.
On the photo above & to the left, are remnants of the white plaster . Looking closely I found pieces of the
tile. I posted a photo ( can’t find it right now) I added the tiles to illustrate how it appeared several centuries ago.
I can only imagine how they must’ve appeared back in wilderness times to the
native indians.

There are stories about underground tunnels that went from one mission to the
other. Which were in part used as refuge from attacks by hostile indians.

I remember the ones located by Stinson Field area .
You probably know this about the missions, but it was something I never realized until now.
Thanks for sharing the beautiful images

Some photos I took at Ocean Village, near Tofino, Vancouver Island, Canada's true west coast. About 2006. 35mm colour film, negatives scanned and enlarged into 16 x 24 inch framed photos we have in our bedroom. These are some of my favourite scenic shots:
