Scott Papek is releasing two Limited Edition prints, Tranquility #1 and Tranquility #2.  Both images were captured in Oregon on the Mission Gorge at the same location 15 minutes apart.  Not only do you get amazing sunsets this time of year, but throw in some haze from the wildfires and it becomes unpredictable and quite frankly, unbelievable.  I’ve never released two prints from the same scene but maybe with the twins on the way I’m used to buying everything double now.  Then again maybe my wife, Julie, and I couldn’t agree on one.  I hope you enjoy these as much as I do.  Mother Nature is queen and I thank her for creating beauty every minute of every day.

Carmel Mission

Posted on by

The Mission at Carmel was founded by Father Junípero Serra in 1770 as the second of Spain’s California missions. The original church here was built of adobe and was replaced with the current structure in 1797. This mission was known as Father Serra’s favorite in California, and he is buried at the altar.
This Image was taken in 2010 in Monterey, California.   [pinterest-pro type=”pinit” pin_url=”http://papekphotography.com/carmel-mission/” pin_image_url=”http://www.papekphotography.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/ScottPapek.jpg” pin_counter=”horizontal” pin_desc=”Carmel Mission Church in Monterey, California image taken by Scott Papek”]
