Dedicated in 1927, this lavish facility was originally used for the staging of plays and later served as a motion picture theater. The architectural style is Spanish, but with Mexican and Indian influences apparent in the decor. The facade, designed to resemble the San Antonio de Padua mission in Monterey County, is the most identifiable aspect of the building and can be seen for miles.
This photo was taken last July, when the Mission Playhouse was open for photography. Our photography group was invited and I was one of those selected.
I have been off-line for a week, schedule was hectic, with guests from the Phillippines, including the former Finance Minister. Now the household is back to normalcy. We have a scheduled hike this weekend, so I will be sharing some fresh photos.
Enjoy and have a great weekend!

First of all: a beautiful building, this mission! And of course – a lovely sky! Much better than the sky in Oslo – fog all over the place!

Hi Ebie — I tried to leave a comment on your other blog but it didn’t work (probably my fault, slow connection)…your daughter inheritis your photo talents =– and that is a beautiful place there.
