Delightful contrasts of the church with the stormy skies. The 590nm palette works well here.

Thanks all! There is an interesting history with this small church but I can't seem to find it now? If my memory is correct, it had a crucifix that came with one of the conquistadors but was stolen from the church. It might not have been a crucifix but it was something like that but curiously, not finding anything on Google about it?

This is awesome Doug! I really enjoy the old churches and missions. So this one is really cool. I was thinking to ask you if it's just restored and locked up, or is it in any use? The history behind it would be really cool.

You mentioned it's private, so is access to it locked up?

Thanks Jim. I read a story about this church a few years-ago and I came across it from simply Googling. I'm thinking the article was from Albuquerque Journal but finding nothing now? From what I recall, services are held but only once a year. Based on this, I don't think it can be private, family church? Wish I could find the article again.

Thanks Dan!
