Since my friend David Marks showed me this place a few years ago, it has become an obligatory stop when I’m in the area. Every time I go my attention is caught by something small; this time it was the array of crosses on the walls. Bonus points go to the pieces of hay embedded into the adobe and the way the lit up on the shadowed wall.
