Description
NOTE: The logo watermark will not appear on purchased products.
This statue of John The Baptist stands in front of the old Mission in San Juan Bautista California. In the background lies farmland in the San Juan Valley with Flint Hills in the distance. The infamous San Andreas Fault runs right through this valley.
At the statue's base is the inscription "Mark 1:4-5" a reference to the Bible. The full citation reads "John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. And there went out unto him all the land of Judaea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins." Mark 1:4-5 (KJV)
The town name of San Juan Bautista is Spanish for Saint John The Baptist.
I made this photograph in September 2003.
