Stations of the Cross Church

One the way back from Taos - drove through San Lius, Colorado, oldest town in Colorado. Been through many times - but this time - stopped to shoot the church.
Perched high atop a mesa in the center of town, rests the beautiful Shrine of the Stations of the Cross. Prominently placed for all to see, this Spanish-Moorish style adobe church was built as an act of love for the people of the area. It was built to be a place of prayer and worship for all those who seek consolation and peace in their life.
You can walk up the trail or there is a road to the church. My photo partner and I chose to drive with camera equipment. The trail is 1/2 mile long and 2500 ft elevation rise.
Not great light, clouds and we were still dealing with smoke from the Canadian fires.

Beautiful church, and beautiful photographs! I've been there, but I'm not much of an architecture photographer!

Wonderful set, Rowedean! Although you present the church beautifully, I would put your last shot on the wall.
