San Ignacio Mini was founded in 1632 by the Jesuits. The Jesuits left the area in 1768 and the mission was destroyed by the native population in 1817.The government undertook restoration in 1940 and in 1984 the ruins were declared as World Heritage Site by UNESCO. (Information from Wikipedia)

I have always enjoyed art in its many forms. Up until about fifteen years ago, my main passion was for creating art through textiles - I love to quilt. I have often joked that I took up photography in self-defense (my husband is an avid photographer) but that is not really true as I do enjoy making images. The past few years have taken my husband and me to many different places in the world and the sights that we have seen and photographed have been very humbling. What a wonderous world we have and I hope that through my images, I enable others to see and maybe even feel a tiny bit of that wonderous world.
