The Saint Petka Serbian Orthodox Church in San Marcos is a stunning piece of architecture.

Saint Petka Serbian Orthodox Church in San Marcos CA 92069

I first saw it a few months ago when showing property in the area, and it was not an opportune time to snap any photos. But the location was quite striking, and it just sort of appeared out of nowhere as I was driving down the road. 

I happened by Saint Petka again yesterday on the way back from showings in the area and had to stop.

 Not only is the building itself dramatic, but the backdrop of the mountains provides an ethereal look.

Very nice.  I bet sitting out on the front lawn on a sunny winter day is inspirational.

Jeff - We certainly don't have anything to match it here in this market.  Wonder how old it is?

Hi Jeff, What camera did you get for Christmas. This is another stunning photo and I had been acquainted with this one. I hope you share this in our ActiveRainPhotoBlogger group.

Jeff, that's beautiful.  The surroundings as well.  I learned a little Serbo-Croatian years back when I lived in NYC.  Most of it is forgotten now from non-use =(

Jeff, it took the picture a minute to load. I was expecting a "Mission" style church. This was a great surprise and yes dramatic.

Yesterday was such a gorgeous day to catch that sweet photo of the local church. Hard to believe that it is a block or so away from a Costco. It seems like something out of the old county!

Geoff - you better believe it.

Bob - good question. I don't it is all that old, especialyl given the age of things in this area.

Maria - thanks. I just REALLY had the have that photo. I drove around for a few minutes to find thebest vantage point. LOL

William - no Christmas camera. JUst my trusty old Kodak v750

Bill - the view IS also pretty inspiring.

Maggie - I would not know the language if I heard it.

Dena - That is what I found so interesting, the fact that is IS so  different. There is a Greek Orthodox Church in Cardiff that I drive by occasionally. I'll have to snap that one too someday.

Melissa - it was gorgeous that day. And you're right - a very different kind of architecture just a short ditance away.
