Historic Santa Ines Mission

In May 2005, on my way to Smugmug Yosemite Shootout, I drove up from LA on hwy 101/hwy 1 and made a few stops.
One of the first stops was the Historic Santa Ines Mission, an important link in a famous 200 mile California Mission Chain.
Located next to a nice cozy little Danish town Solvang (pictures are coming) the mission is still functioning:

The gallery:

The remnant of the original gallery pillar:

The bell tower:

The rose gargen was a necessary part of every mission:

As with almost every mission, there is a gorgeous view:

The rest of the pictures is here:
