My Neighborhoods photo collaboration project, week 17. This is The Mission District. The Mission District, also commonly called "The Mission", is a neighborhood in San Francisco, California, USA, named after the sixth Alta California mission, Mission San Francisco de Asis. The area occupies land previously divided into ranchos owned by Spanish-Mexican families such as the Valencianos, Guerreros, Dolores, Bernals, Noes and De Haros. There are many spots in The Mission known for graffiti and murals. The alleyways between Mission and Valencia are full of graffiti, and always interesting to shoot.
