The three-bell tower is a defining landmark for the distinct Mission Espada. Though not as large as the other missions, Espada is uniquely charming and beautiful. It is definitely worth including in your mission loop if you happen to get to San Antonio.

I like the last one the best – I like how the grunge comes through! But, since it’s your last… it’s probably not your favorite. 🙂
Sometimes I save the best for last! Thanks for the comment.
These are some of your best! I like them all
Well it is nice to hear from you! I am glad you like these photos. Those missions are awesome for sure.
Ahhh I just want to put a fierce model in a torn red dress in that second one with a storm brewing! My favorite shot!
Oh, you have the eye for it! I may have to try adding a model in the foreground someday. You are right the second one should be an HDR composite.
I love these! Wish I lived close enough to visit this place. It is stunning. You have an amazing way with the camera. 🙂
Caryn, these are all great examples of HDR and how they can be done, without being over done. They are beautiful, showing a lot of detail, while still having good contrast. I love the composition of them as well. It must have been fun doing these.
