The San Jose Mission doesn't look that great from what I can see in the photographs I've found on the web. I'll see if I can find out anything about the Santa Clara Mission. The grounds outside the Rosicrucian museum are a wonderful photo site; I've been there a couple of times, and I'm sure that it looks splendid now that spring is here. Fairly close at hand is the San Jose history park (mildly interesting) and the Japanese Friendship Garden - another wonderful photo location. Quite honestly I'd suggest that those two or three locations are far more likely to yield good photo opportunities than either mission.
