A recognizable landmark in Montecito, California, is an adobe Catholic church known as Our Lady of Mount Carmel. While exploring in the area, we stumbled on this treasure find.
There is something Chinese, Mediterranean and Pueblo Indian about this scene. I couldn't resist capturing the pool of light pouring in from the entrance and onto the stone bench parked against the opposite wall. Its uneven stone ground tiles and wall colors in the light emanate a sense of solitude and quiet contemplation.
The architectural style was taken after the Pueblo Indian missions in New Mexico and Arizona around the 17th century. This courtyard shows pleasant textured patterns in its plastered walls. The weathered facade, stone texture and colors are calming, rivaled by a sense of openness and invitation.
