Puzzle Description:

San Xavier Mission, Tucson's "White Dove of the Desert," was founded by Father Kino in 1692. This 300-year-old handmade adobe structure houses countless works of Spanish-influenced works of art. At night it can be seen from a distance, bathed in floodlights against the dark Tucson sky.

Thanks Teresa !

Very nice! I knew that it couldn't be (because of the title) but this image reminded me of the Taj Mahal.

Thanks, Adam. I had fun doing this one. I've thought about doing the Taj Mahal. Having been to the Mission, I have a "feel" for it, and was able to put my heart into it.

Jota, make sure we include this on your jet tour. The fry bread is delicious. They have a little cafe that reminds me of the WC Cafe.

beautiful! Thanks

Very nice puzzle. What a pretty place it is. If I ever get to Tuscon, I plan to go see it.

This was hard and a little tedious, but the resulting image was well worth it. Great puzzle.

weird, since i actually thought it was san xavier while working on it.

That just means Teresa did an excellent job. :)
