The Mission Point Lighthouse is a small but picturesque one in Grand Traverse Bay, at the end of a peninsula that separates the Bay into two smaller ones.
CC Week 33 - Patterns
Patterns in this view of Mission San Juan Bautista are several. Archways on the right and their shadows provide a repeat pattern. Rectangular windows and doors on the left are all rectangular, though not identical. Beams up above are also a pattern, as are the floor tiles and window panes. These patterns all lead the eye towards the implied vanishing point in the distance. The actual church is just beyond the corridor and to the left. Breaking up the pattern are the signs directing visitors to the Mission Museum and Gift Shop.
"Alright, lock and load, fellas. It's time for Team Mustache to roll out!"

Mission San Franciso de la Espada is a Spanish mission established in 1690 in present-day San Antonio, TX. Built to solidify Spain's claim to the New World and bring Christianity to the local Indians.
If there is one place that spent many an hour fishing my young life away is at Mission Creek that flows into the Bulkley River.
The Mission Dolores Basilica is San Francisco was built in 1918.
It was built in the California Churrigueresque revival style. It replaced an earlier church destroyed in the 1906 San Francisco earthquake.
The basilica is next to the 1791 Mission San Francisco de Asís, commonly known as Mission Dolores.
Cactus, and other tough, drought tolerant plants are known as Xerophytes. These are in front of an old Spanish mission.
Boston's Mission Hill neighborhood as seen from the 22nd floor of International Village. This photo was originally taken for an essay on a class tour of Mission Hill, but I really like how it turned out.

This image was taken through the oldest part of the cemetery.
The Mausoleum is 128 feet long and 60 feet wide, with 500 crypts. The building is built in the Old Spanish Architecture. It has Green lined Vermont marble interior and Bedford limestone exterior. A very interesting structure in the Wichita, Kansas area.

Because enough Indians retain superstitions and will not attend a school that overlooks a
cemetery, Professor Henry Roe Cloud asked the city commission yesterday to prevent the
building of a new cemetery on a 40 acre tract immediately west of the Roe Institute which
has been purchased by a cemetery company for that purpose.

One hundred thousand dollar mausoleum will be built by the American Cemetery
company in Old Mission cemetery, 21st street and Hillside avenue.
I was surprised and glad to see that they took the Native American beliefs into account before building this Cemetery and Mausoleum in 1919. It was not common practice then or now. I spent almost a year in Montana and South Dakota about 3 years ago and I was seriously appalled at the way people respond to each other, white vs Native Americans. You see, most of us really like and respect our Native Americans in Kansas. To me, we should respect each other.
Technique for the coloring is simply sliding the vibrancy and saturation to the negative instead of the positive when editing in RAW.
nrhp # 72001351- Mission San Francisco de la Espada (also Mission Espada) is a Roman Rite Catholic mission established in 1690 by Spain and relocated in 1731 to present-day San Antonio, Texas, in what was then known as northern New Spain. The mission was built in order to convert local Native Americans to Christianity and solidify Spanish territorial claims in the New World against encroachment from France.[1] Today, the structure is one of four missions that comprise San Antonio Missions National Historical Park.
from Wikipedia
Mission Concepcion is a Spanish Fransiscan mission established in eastern Texas in 1716. It was moved to its current site near the banks of the San Antonio River in 1731, and the church was finished and dedicated in 1751. It provided protection and a home to those natives willing to convert to christianity. This an architectural detail of the portico at the church front entrance.
A mission church or tin tabernacle.
Normally I find and photograph those in their "natural setting" ie where they were built and used but this one was saved from demolition and relocated and rebuilt in a museum. Its still rusty and flaky!!
ESA astronaut Luca Parmitano was launched to the International Space Station from the Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on 20 July 2019 alongside NASA astronaut Drew Morgan and Russian cosmonaut Alexander Skvortsov.
The trio travelled to the Station in a Soyuz MS-13 spacecraft and will spend more than six months living and working in orbit.
Beyond is Luca’s second space mission – his first was Volare in 2013. During the second part of this mission, known as Expedition 61, Luca will become the third European and first Italian commander of the International Space Station.
The most recent European commander was ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst during his Horizons mission in 2018. The first was ESA astronaut Frank De Winne during his OasISS mission in 2009.
During Beyond, Luca will support over 50 European experiments and more than 200 International experiments in microgravity. A number of these experiments, such as Grip and Grasp, are continuations from previous missions.
New experiments include BioRock, an experiment looking at the potential of microbes in extracting minerals from rocks on other planets, and NutrISS, which looks at the best strategies for monitoring and controlling changes in energy balance, metabolism and body composition during spaceflight.

While we were on the Macro photowalk in San Francisco, we turned up Mission Street and found this amazing parade of classic cars.
Mars exploration began in the 1960s and more than 40 missions have attempted to reach the Red Planet since – with varying degrees of success. Some early attempts failed at the launch pad, while others reached Mars but were not able to enter orbit around it. Landing on Mars remains challenging even today.
This graphic summaries the history of Mars exploration, categorising the missions into flybys, orbiters, landers and rovers, indicated on the graphic from the outermost circle around Mars, to the surface of the planet as well as by the symbols indicated in the key. Missions to Mars moons are also included but only the mission elements pertaining to Mars itself are shown. A bold red line indicates the mission elements that were successful; the dotted fainter line indicates a (partial) failure, or an uncompleted mission.
For example, in the ESA-Roscosmos ExoMars 2016 mission, the orbiter is successfully in orbit (indicated by the bold red line reaching the orbiter circle around Mars). However, while the entry, descent and landing demonstration module returned useful data on its descent (indicated by the bold red line reaching the surface), it did not land correctly and could not complete its surface mission (indicated by the less-bold symbol). To give another example, the Japanese Nozomi mission was intended as an orbiter (indicated by the symbol at the orbiter circle around Mars) and although it reached Mars (indicated by the bold solid line), it failed to enter orbit and instead flew by (indicated by the symbol at the flyby circle and the dotted line to the less bold orbiter symbol).
Over time, missions have evolved from early flyby attempts, to orbiters, landers and rovers. Mars continues to be an attractive destination for exploration, with missions largely focusing on the search for evidence of life on the Red Planet, and a better understanding of how Earth and Mars evolved so differently. While early Mars exploration efforts were dominated by the Soviet Union and the USA, in recent years and even more so in the next decade will see new Mars missions from a broad range of nations.
Europe has been participating in Mars missions since the 1970s through scientific collaboration and contribution of instruments to US- and Soviet-led missions; more recently European instruments have flown on NASA orbiters, landers and rovers. ESA-led missions began with Mars Express, which is still operational today. ESA is preparing for the launch of the ExoMars rover and surface science platform in 2020 in collaboration with Roscosmos; the rover will be the first to drill down to 2 m to search for life below ground. The ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter, while already in orbit conducting its own science mission, will provide data relay services for the next mission.
ESA is also looking ahead to the next logical step in Mars exploration – returning a sample from the surface of Mars. NASA’s Mars 2020 mission is the first step of this international endeavour, and two further missions are under study to collect and return the samples (not shown on this graphic). ESA is also participating in JAXA’s Mars Moons Exploration (MMX) mission, which will aim to return a sample from one of the moons (it is indicated as an orbiter on this graphic as it will first enter orbit around Mars, before transferring to the moons).

"The mission"....fly to Charis Seafood shop at Labrador and arrive for the daily feed at 13.00hrs daily.
That's right these Australian Pelicans get a good feed of the fish frames and left overs daily at the seafood shop right on the shore at Labrador Qld Australia. There can be a group of 50-60 pelicans that line up for the feed every day attracting many tourists.
Thank you for all the comments and faves, my friends.
I've always found that the courtyard at Mission:Space seems to open up so many opportunities to play with the fisheye lense. With so few straight lines, you don't have to worry about the distortion that the fisheye can normally introduce to an image.
I'm way behind on viewing and commenting on everyone's photos; hoping to get enjoy everything and get caught up this weekend.
This mission was a fun one. We were to basically take down the Shield Generator, so our forces could get into Poggle's factory. The strategy was left up to us though. I though the best way to do this would be to nuke the power feeds to the Generator, so we wouldn't have to destroy the whole thing and cause a big commotion. We thought this way, it would at least take the bugs a little longer to figure out what was going on. This was a scary mission, but in the end we made out alright, we didn't lose anyone. The bombs should be going off any second now...
