Missions were an integral part of life and the
founding of the Southwest US. Spanish padres and
explorers settle and the region, creating
institutions that weren't just religion-based, but
many times existed as community centers for
settlement.The photo above shows a blue sky and bright desert sun filtered
through a lens with refraction that passes in front
of a towering mission arch entryway to a courtyard.
Taken by Zoie
Clift, the image above offers a glimpse into a part
of the Arizona desert that offers a reverent look at
life.
