Pieta Garden Mission Diego de Alcala

If you exit the Mission Diego de Alcalá Church you come into walled courtyard with a garden inside. The garden in a Mission was meant to be a place of contemplation. This garden certainly qualifies.

The  Pieta Garden features two major items: a Pietà statue and a mosaic Stations of the Cross. The Pietà statue, the Thirteenth Station of the Cross, is similar to that carved by Michelangelo in Rome. There is a small walkway by the statue should you care to examine it closely. It is quiet here, hearing only the whispers from the trees swaying in the wind and the birds singing in the warm sunny day. The benches there are old and inviting.

The Mission Diego de Alcala is a beautiful, inviting place, and an encouraging house of worship. You will like it, and if you are of the faith you might use it for what it was built and rebuilt for.

Cross Mission San Diego de Alcala

The Mission San Diego de Alcalá is the first of California's 21 historic missions, and one of the best. Founded in 1769 by Father Junipero Serra, this first Franciscan mission in Alta California is older than the USA.

What struck me was the serenity within the compound despite the fact that the mission abuts current-day San Diego. The long, narrow and beautifully painted Basilica Mission San Diego de Alcala church is rustic and inspiring, soothing for the eyes and the soul.

A visit to this mission is a must to anyone interested in the history of the colonization of Alta California.

St Joseph Immaculate Conception San Diego

In 1917 the Catholic Church of the Immaculate Conception San Diego, CA was opened for solemn worship. The sanctuary is an entry into heaven where all the angels and saints surround our God worshiping Him without ceasing.

Throughout the church are icons, windows into heaven where we look toward God and the heavenly beings, and they look upon us. The second stained glass window on the north side of the building near the altar is of Saint Joseph, the foster father to Jesus and the patron saint and protector of the Catholic Church and the patron of several countries and regions.

Enter into this church building, into the house of God, into the presence of God, and offer a prayer for the praise of His Holy Name and
for the conversion of the whole world.

Experience Nature In Estero San Jose

Estero San Jose, right in the heart of San Jose del Caboa, is a tropical estuary that is a great spot for bird watching, kayaking or simply wandering along the paths and enjoying the natural beauty of Los Cabos. Estero San Jose is located where the fresh waters of Rio San Jose meet the salt waters of the sea and consists of about 125 acres of estuary that plays an important role in the history and environment of San Jose.

Over 250 species of birds are frequent visitors here. Many types of waterfowl winter here, as do many other shorebird and wading bird species. Herons, egrets, two species of cormorant, pelicans, gulls, frigate birds, Turkey vultures, Caracara and Osprey are among the year round residents, and the estuary provides a good stopover point for other migrating birds as well.

In spite of its luxury hotels and hillside villas, much of the native flora and fauna of Los Cabos remains intact. Sierra de la Laguna, a UNESCO biosphere reserve, protects lush forests that are home to plants and animals unique to the area.

La Catrina With Purple Umbrella

'Day of the Dead', the holiday known in Spanish as 'Dia de los Muertos,' is especially popular in Mexico. Decorations of skeleton ladies are among the holiday's observances.

Mexico's elegant and classy 'Skeleton Lady', La Calavera Catrina, ('Dapper Skeleton', 'Elegant Skull') is getting new attention more than a century after she was born. The macabre figure has grown to symbolize the Day of the Dead. It is common to see La Catrina embodied as part of the celebrations of Dia de los Muertos throughout the country; the female skeleton has become a motive for the creation of female skeleton statues or metal sculptures with long dress and umbrella, as well as handcrafts made from clay or other materials. Her representations may vary, as well as the hat.

Day of the Dead festivities recently have begun to fuse with the American celebration of Halloween in some areas by embracing trick or treating.

March Of The Seagull

The seagull took an evening stroll along the kayaks on the beautiful beach of Playa Punta Balandra in a bay near La Paz, Baja California Sur, Mexico. The waters were shimmering with light and there was a pleasant salty sea smell in the air. It was very quiet.

Playa Balandra is one of the most beautiful beaches of Mexico. The crystal clear water is shallow, calm and transparent, soft white sand and a color really hard to describe. Surrounded by desert vegetation, dunes and cactus, Playa Balandra gives a lunar landscape, enriched with local wildlife. There is no bar or restaurant. And probably for this reason, it is even more beautiful.

Sometimes you have to sit very still, so the story can find you. Always, there is a level of trust that there is one, even though you might not be aware of it in the moment. The gentle water sounds on boats and the leaving heat of the day sets the stage.

Sunset Over Cabo

Rejuvenate your senses on a breathtaking coast of Mexico, where land ends and dreams begin - navigate through Los Arcos at Land's End - discover the romance and adventure of Mexico's Baja Coast ... just be.

Kites Over Baja California

Kids and adults love to fly kites, and there is no better landscape or climate on earth for kite flying than Cabo San Lucas, Baja California, Mexico.

Making your own kite can be an act of artistry. But even the selection of a store-bought kite is a mode of personal expression and a celebration of what's beautiful to you. Think of it as having happiness on a string. Flying a kite is the ultimate carefree pastime. That makes it the perfect metaphor - and a fine activity - for health promotion. Kite flying is the very definition of sheer fun.

Cabo San Lucas and Los Cabos have beach front villas perfect for kite flying. Colorful kites soaring gracefully overhead are a lovely, relaxing sight.

Morenci - A Beauty Of A Copper Mine

Morenci Mine in Southeast Arizona, about 50 miles northeast of Safford, is an open-pit copper mining complex. It is one of North America's largest producers of copper and one of the largest open-pit mines in the world.

Morenci operates continuously and has a workforce of 2000 plus employees, producing 840 million pounds of copper per year. It mines 830,000 tons of rock per day. Morenci is a "zero-discharge" operation. Virtually all of the water used at Morenci is recycled, some of it many times over. Morenci's operations pioneered the use of GPS system technology and computer-controlled dispatching in its haul trucks, shovels and other heavy equipment. The history of mining in Morenci, Arizona is still being written.

Sometimes, mining and nature get along remarkably well. Morenci Mine in has become a haven for Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep. One explanation for the sheep's attraction to the mine is that the human activity keeps predators away. The sheep dot the Morenci landscape, seemingly comfortable around the hustle and bustle of the mine. They are so prevalent that it's easy to tell that the 200 to 300 bighorn sheep that roam the countryside are healthy and hardy - so much so that the Morenci herds are being used to establish or replenish other herds around.

Pump Jack A Texas Icon

People have been pumping oil for thousands of years, and, while there is some dispute as to the first modern oil well, its construction can be placed some time in the 1850s. The pump jack didn’t come onto the scene until almost 70 years later. However, the distinctive appearance of the pump jack has become iconic and these devices are often used as symbols of the oil and gas industry.

It was in a Texas oil field that the first modern-day pump jack drastically changed the face of drilling in 1925. The pumpjack, an oil field icon known by many names like oil horse, donkey pumper, nodding donkey, pumping unit, horsehead pump, rocking horse, beam pump, dinosaur, sucker rod pump (SRP), grasshopper pump, Big Texan, thirsty bird, or jack pump - consists of a long beam moved by an external power source. There are a lot of pumpjacks dotting the Texas landscape.

The evolution of technology for pumping oil from the ground is reflected in thousands of small, marginally producing oil wells reaching deep into often stubborn reserves. Marginal oil and natural gas wells number about 650,000 of the nation’s 876,000 wells. Once shutdown, they are lost forever. Keeping them in production has long been a challenge for a special breed of oilman, one who combines technical skills with hard work in the field.

Bell Tower Mission San Jose, TX

San José y San Miguel de Aguayo Mission, one of the five Spanish missions in San Antonio, Texas, was founded in the early eighteenth century. Numerous Indian groups were represented at San José. The mission was to acquaint the Indians with Christian teaching, European values, and vocational skills and to convert them to useful citizens of the empire.
In the summer of 1794 Governor Manuel Muñoz carried out the secularization of San José, a process whereby some of the mission holdings were distributed among proprietors. With the departure of the last Franciscan, Father José Antonio Díaz de Léon, in 1824, San José Mission was formally closed after more than a century of service. Beginning about 1813, troops were stationed intermittently at the mission. They caused considerable damage. The steps to the bell tower fell in 1903, and the tower itself tumbled down in 1928.

In 1932 major restoration was started on the mission structures. The church, which had lost its dome, bell tower, and a wall, was rededicated in 1937. The mission grounds were declared a national and state historical site in 1941, and on November 10, 1978, San José Mission became part of the San Antonio Missions National Historical Park.

Tower Life Building San Antonio

The Tower Life Building in San Antonio, Texas, which opened in 1929, was originally named the Smith-Young Tower, and conceived as part of a larger complex called Bowen's Island Skyscrapers, which included the 1927 Plaza Hotel. This project was halted by the Great Depression.

The eight sided, neo-gothic brick and terra-cotta tower (complete with gargoyles) was San Antonio's tallest building for 59 years until completion of the Marriott Rivercenter in 1988. It also was San Antonio's tallest office building for 60 years until the completion of the Weston Centre in 1989. In 1991 the Tower Life Building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. In 2010 work began to remove an obsolete 164-foot television antenna that was installed in 1953. The original crown was restored and topped with a 100-foot flagpole.

The octagonal edifice has the appearance of an elaborate lighthouse, a beacon in the darkness. Pointed arches and a beautiful green tile roof give the building its European context. At night, dramatic lighting adds height and intensity to the tower, which, like Gothic cathedrals, emphasizes by refined vertical ascent the desire of humanity to reach out to mysteries far beyond.
