"Mission San Xavier del Bac is a historic Spanish Catholic mission located about 10 miles (16 km) south of downtown Tucson, Arizona on the Tohono O'odham San Xavier Indian Reservation. Named for a pioneering Christian missionary and co-founder of the Society of Jesus (Jesuit Order), the Mission is also known as the "place where the water appears" as the Santa Cruz River (which runs underground) surfaces nearby[citation needed]. The Mission is situated in the center of a centuries-old Indian settlement of the Tohono O'odham (formerly known as Papago), located along the banks of the Santa Cruz River."

Hello Chris! Mysterious hill. Interesting cross. Nice natural lightness and brightness. Good sharpness. Original composition. Well done!

Hi Chris,
Very arid, desert landscape for today. I like this composition with the three cactii and the cross at the top. The pale colour of the soil brings here the hotness of the desert. Finy, bright image! TFS:

Bonjour Chris
Un rendu très naturel des teintes comme si nous étions sur le ciel.Une terre aride sur laquelle ces cactus ajoutent une touche de beauté.
Bonne journée

Rugged!! Just like the old west! The air is so dry and the dirt so hard that you can pour water on it, and the water won't soak in! You caught the cacti in bloom here! Nice! Good shot, love the cross in the shot!
