• Nice photo! I'd like to use it as a photo of the day for the Capistrano Valley News website. Here's an example: http://www.ocregister.com/news/dreamy-223765-photo-juan.html Please e-mail me with permission if you're interested: pschelden@ocregister.com

What is now called "Serra Chapel" was the original Mission Church at San Juan Capistrano. It is the oldest structure in California. Someone asked how I managed to take this photo without showing people. There were about 10 or 12 people in the narrow church at the time. I "hid" them by using the Lady of Guadalupe candle display to cover up the center isle where people were moving about.
