It's much be church month because last week Christie posted up a church for Friday Photo from her travels in Greece. This week I thought I would share my picture of San Francisco de Asis Church (AKA, St. Francis of Assisi) in Rancho de Taos, New Mexico. It was built in 1815 by Spanish missionaries and is one of the most photographed churches in that region.
I was fortunate enough to actually spend my summers as a kid near this beautiful land mark as my grandmother, aunts and cousins live not more than 5 minutes from there. I took this photo in July 2005 during sunset. I had actually gotten in the car and taken off for 2 hours just to find things to take pictures of and got some excellent shots!! It really isn't hard to do in Taos because it is really so beautiful. I don't know what it is about that place but it is so rejuvenating and there is an energy that just flows through it. Needless to say the family was not happy with me as they didn't know where I was (forgot to tell anyone)... that is until I showed them what I had on my digital camera. :)
