Tumacácori is one of the Father Kino Missions, located outside Tucson, Arizona. The cross on top of the mission really caught my eye. There are some really interesting things to photograph here or to just see if you do not have a camera.

A Pair of Crosses
I warned you earlier I have a thing for crosses - I find them wherever I go. I like the symmetry of the two crosses and the far near effect. These crosses can be found at Tumacácori National Park outside of Tucson Arizona. Tumacácori is perhaps the most mispronounced word I know of - so don't worry about pronouncing it correctly because nobody does.
The Tumacácori Mission was established in 1691 by Father Eusebio Francisco Kino. It was established one day before the Guevavi Mission, making it the oldest Jesuit mission site in southern Arizona and there are some really cool things to photograph there.
Trifecta
I have never been particularly religious but I must admit I have a thing for crosses. They both fascinate and scare me - perhaps that is why my cross images always seem to have a foreboding feel. I made this image in mexico, drawn to the symmetry and repeating pattern. The crosses mark the graves of three family members, the earliest dates back approximately 70 years.
