Description

This "little mission" is a place to offer prayers located just next to the BIG mission of San Xavier Del Bac. The main mission is currently undergoing a renovation, so I took a picture of this little building instead. It was built in 1783 just outside of Tucson, Arizona on the Tohono O'odham Indian Reservation. When the main mission has been restored, I will show you how amazingly beautiful it is! The still hold church there every Sunday for the Native Americans.

You're right TwoPynts. I hope that wasn't something I did to the photo in PSP. I'm just learning the program and how to enhance photos!

nice picture - regarding the banding - it looks like you probably set the compression to high when saving it as a jpg. you prob use 90% for a pic this size. i use 85% for 800 x 600 & 75% for 1024 x 768. hope this helps:o)
