This is another of my mission pictures. This one was taken at San Luis Rey. Like all of the missions, the doorways are beautiful. In this case, I particularly liked the raised tiled platform in front of the doorway. The white grout is especially attractive, and helps lead the eyes to the doorway. I chose a good time to visit, in the afternoon, as this provided glancing light that always shows up whitewashed or stuccoed walls so nicely. I was very lucky on this trip to get quite a few lovely images at the missions, so I will probably post at least a couple more over the next two weeks.
