"Birds, San Francisco de Asis Mission Church"

Under threatening skies, Birds take refuge above the famous San Francisco de Asis Mission Church in Ranchos de Taos, New Mexico. The organic shapes of the rear elevation of the church and the motion of the flying bird breath life into this classic composition of one of the most photographed and painted churches in North America.

Mountain Spirits

Fog lifts above an old mountain cabin in the San Juan mountains. This is one of my favorite places, a quiet old retreat hidden in plain sight. I always wonder about the mystery of this place, the spirit of the people who built and lived in that one-room cabin, hard on the side of a mountain meadow.
