1950 (or 1925)
I didn’t know it when I set out, but finding this church is the whole reason for taking the back roads last Saturday.
Up here on the High Plains, almost all the roads are set up on a straight north-south/east-west grid (except for curves to avoid playa lakes), and the buildings are built parallel to the roads. And then there was this church set at an angle to the road. It was a bright surprise.

How many rains
The church of San Francisco de Asis was built in 1772. Even in its desert locations it has seen a lot of rains. And later that night, one more set of raindrops bathed the adobe walls.

Burnt
Start here, with this long article about the fire. I’ll wait.
This part is relevant to the photo:
Her truck stopped on the Rue du Cloître Notre-Dame, a narrow street that runs on one side of the cathedral. The building was so gigantic, she couldn’t see where the fire was spreading anymore.
“We were so small that it was hard to get a proper idea from the bottom of the cathedral,” she said. “But it might have been better like that.”
We were standing on Rue du Cloître Notre-Dame when I made this image. It’s hard to look at the photo now, especially after reading the article.

Shortly, we were engulfed
This storm came up quickly, with an intensity that was a little frightening. Or, actually, I think I mean the intensity was exhilarating. Yes. That’s what I mean. And it was also photogenic.
