Trip to Taos

On Wed. Nov 17, 2010 we traveled north from Santa Fe to spend the day in Taos, New Mexico. The last time we had been there was in the mid 90's. Nothing seems to have changed.
Wonderful architecture, not much traffic and a great time trying to find the old places we had been to and to find new ones.

One of the places that we were looking to photograph was the St. Francis of Assisi Church in Ranchos de Taos. This was the subject of four paintings by Georgia O'Keefe and many photographs by Ansel Adams. Georgia O'Keefe described it as "one of the most beautiful buildings left in the United States built by the early Spaniards. It was built between 1772 and 1816 and is about 4 miles southwest of the town of Taos, New Mexico. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1970.
