Ruins and cottonwoods, Bandelier.
A doorway in Los Cerillos, a near-ghost-town on the Turquoise Trail between Santa Fe and Taos.
El Santuario de Chimayó, on the High Road to Taos, built between 1813 and 1816. "Sacred dirt" reputed to cure maladies in a church alcove. Sacred chile sauce that cures everything in the nearby restaurant.
The church at San Ildefonso Pueblo. People have been living in that pueblo since 1300. So stop thinking a 150-year-old house is special.
Adobe church at Las Trampas, constructed in the 18th century.
Roadside cemetery in the Sangre De Cristo mountains.
Mission church at Golden. Old adobe and New Mexico light make an arresting combination.
Cottonwoods and approaching storm, Taos.
Church of St. Francis of Assisi in Ranchos de Taos. Built in 1730, it's probably the most-photographed church in New Mexico. So, of course I had to.

Church of St. Francis, backside and birds in black and white.
