Sept 5th

St. Thomas Indian Mission- In October 1780, Father Francisco Garcés and companions began Mission La Purísima Concepción. The mission/pueblo site was inadequately supported. Colonists ignored Indian rights, usurped the best lands, and destroyed Indian crops. Completely frustrated and disappointed, the Quechans (Yumas) and their allies destroyed Concepción on July 17-19, 1781.

I love them both. The top one is beautifully composed.

I like the second one better. The dark image with the beautiful sky is excellent.

Love the history, Linda. Both great images, but I think the sky beyond the second one is especially good.
