Description

Well, anyone who knows my photographic interests realized as soon as I agreed to participate in this 365 Photo Challenge with Lisa that I'd be including some infrared images. I'm a huge fan of the otherworldly look of infrared when done right. I suppose the only surprise is how long it took me to get around to actually shooting some IR for this challenge--a full week! Today's effort is a false-color infrared image of the San Xavier Mission replica at Aquarena Center in San Marcos.

It's only about 50 years old or so. Mission San Xavier was a Spanish colonial mission that was abandoned in the 1700s and lost. Not much is known about it, other than the general location. The section of the park where this replica stands has been closed for 4-5 years. The trees, brush and undergrowth have really taken over. It'll re-open eventually, but that depends on funding for repairs to the trails in the area.
