I missed the turn for this spot and as a result showed up a little too late for some spectacular evening light. Still it was cool to see such a historic landmark even if it was slightly dark and rather cold.
I didn't find a photo of the north adobe buttresses that I liked as well, but with the moon I thought this turned out alright.

I missed the turn for St. Francis several times, and after moving to Taos in ended up living a block east of the church for two years.
Nice comp.

I didn't realize that you lived there Adam. I would have made arrangements to say hi.

It's a treat to visit this church, though not an easy place to shoot. I had always romanticized the location and its surroundings, and was a little surprised when I pulled into the church parking lot the first time. Getting clean comps is quite the challenge. Showing up on Sunday morning during services didn't help much though...
The moon adds to the scene, though the tree doesn't so much. One of those aforementioned "challenges".
