King of the Missions: Oceanside Photo Of The Day

OCEANSIDE, CA — Patch reader Tom Smith captured this photo of the Mission San Luis Rey in Oceanside. Tagged as King of the Missions and was established in 1798 - Beautiful place to visit.

A little about Tom: Photography has been a part of my life off and on since I was very young and my cousin showed me how to develop black and white prints. However, I would go long periods of time throughout my life when I did not take pictures. During the late 90's I returned to photograph when digital took over as the preferred medium. I've been hooked since then.

Thanks for sharing!
