The nocturnal version of "Capilla No. 2", Day has added more detail to the outbuildings and to the adobe church, and veiled the image in nocturne, illuminating the structures and street with lamp light. He appears to have added what could be the texture of age to the back wall of the church, almost graffiti-like in its rendering. One of many images of the southwest Day created after he had relocated from Canada to Hollywood.
