Photograph of the Junipero oak (after the founder of the mission Father Junipero Serra) at Mission San Carlos del Carmelo, after 1905. A priest wearing a cassock and holding open a book [a bible?] as he reads from it, stands beside the stone bearing a dedication at the foot of the tree. The dedication reads "The Juniper oak at Monterey, June 3rd, 1770. The ceremony of taking possession of California for Spain was enacted by Father Junipero Serra under the shade of this tree, placed here for preservation by R.K. Nestres, N.A. Greene, 1905". A wooden fence is in the background. The oak is now in the rear of the San Carlos Mission.
