EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Mission San Miguel Arcangel in San Miguel, California. The Spanish mission, established in 1797 by the Franciscan order, holds a significant place in history as it was built with the intention to evangelize the Salinan Indians who inhabited the area. Today, this architectural marvel continues to serve as a parish church for the Diocese of Monterey. The image showcases both the beauty and deterioration of this historic building. Against a serene backdrop of blue skies and lush greenery, we see an old ruin adorned with statues and surrounded by trees. The worn-out walls tell stories of centuries past while exuding tranquility that can only be found within sacred places. As you gaze upon this photograph, you are transported back in time to witness not just a structure but also a testament to faith and devotion. The arches and entrance beckon visitors into its hallowed halls where Christianity has been practiced for generations. Mission San Miguel Arcangel's significance is recognized on both national and international levels; it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1971 and designated as a National Historic Landmark in 2006.

Geri Lavrov's skillful photography beautifully captures every detail - from the intricate architecture to nature reclaiming its space around this beloved place of worship.
