Description
San Francisco de Asis Church, that is. A still-active 18th-century parish that, thanks to Ansel Adams and Georgia O’Keeffe, became a modern art icon—and a quintessential Taos landmark.
Here's my take on it.
Completed in 1815, construction on the adobe edifice began in 1772. The church doubled as a temple of worship and a formidable fortress. Treasures of the Spanish Colonial period are preserved inside, including two hand-carved and hand-painted reredos

It is, Debby. Considered as the possibly the most photographed church in the southwest, I wanted to do something unique with it …

Wonderful contrast between the warm church and the deep blue sky, plus the brilliance of the white crosses and trim
