Cartão Tumacacori Mission Window Birthday

This window without walls looks into the grounds of the Tumacacori Mission south of Tucson, Arizona. It is a window into the past, with no roof, tan adobe walls, and a framed open space that looks into the grounds. You can see a bit of blue sky with clouds, a line of trees, and a sun-baked dry field. This now ruined mission was build by Father Kino, a Jesuit missionary, in 1691; the oldest Jesuit mission in southern Arizona. Photo copyright Gail Storrs 2007.
