El San Miguel Mission - (#25)

"It was late in the afternoon that I decided to photograph the San Miguel Mission in Santa Fe. New Mexico. An historical treasure. built between 1610 and 1628. had a long history of service to the community with evidence of earlier occupation by Native Americans.

As evening light began to dissipate. the sun was at just the right angle allowing full saturation of the colors. bringing out a deep golden red with the appearance of a textured velvet. Simplicity and elegance captured altogether in one short. reverent moment."
