Mission Soledad



Mission Nuestra Senora de la Soledad. Established Oct., 9th 1791. My first visit to this mission. Not a great day for photography. Overcast and cloudy. Very flat light. Set in the middle of the Salinas Valley, it must have been very lonely for Fr. Florencio Ibanes who served there from 1803 until his death in 1848 at the age of 78. He is buried in the sancturary.
