| Diagonal Shadow. San Francisco de Asis. |

| Rocks of Ages, Santuario de Chimayo. |

| Canal. San Francisco de Asis. |
As threatened last week we’ll wind up our examination of sensuous adobes and evocative shadows. Two of the images are from the most photographed edifice in the western world, San Francisco de Asis. The other is of the rocky foundation of the Santuario de Chimayo which has been depicted almost as much. Both were completed in 1816 making them youngsters compared to other Spanish Mission Churches in New Mexico that date back to the late sixteenth century. However, Saint Francis was preceded by another church on the same site about which I find nothing and Santuario de Chimayo was built on the site where a painted wood sculpture of the Christ of Esquipulas miraculously appeared. The year was 1810

It is wonderful that you continued your series with this morning's triplets of shadows. The angled image of San Francisco de Asis in Ranchos de Taos is splendid as is the Rock of Ages Santuario at Chimayo. Magnificent shots and toning. They round out your adobe and smoke series perfectly. Congratulations!
