Storm clouds form late in the day over the San Xavier del Bac Mission on the Tohono O'odham Indian Reservation near Tucson, Arizona. Nicknamed the "White Dove of the Desert," the mission has had a presence in this desert location since 1692; however, the buildings pictured here were completed in 1797.
