Description

Built in the late 1700's and made famous by Georgia O' Keeffe, with Her painting of the church's massive adobe walls simply looming up into the sky. Every Spring the people of the community gather to mud a new layer of adobe on the walls, perserving their church in the time worn ways of Northern New Mexico. Thanks for stopping by.

Beautiful capture! Wonderful POV, color, textures, and light. Very interesting information. The adding of the new layer each year would be a wonderful thing to see.
