Saint Teresa of Avila, Bodega

Saint Teresa of Avila Church, Bodega


Our innkeeper pointed us to a scenic drive in Western Sonoma that lead us through the town of Bodega, and up the coast and back to the hotel. Betsy and I both perked up when we heard Bodega is home to the church from Hitchcock's The Birds. I went there to photograph it, whereupon B pointed out, "Hey, you know Ansel Adams photographed this church too, right?". If you live in California, it's good odds Ansel Adams scooped you. ;)

Sadly, there weren't any flocks of homicidal birds on hand to frame the church, but the clouds were pretty cooperative.
