Through that glass, brightly

If you manage to find Puerto de Luna, keep going until you cross the Pecos River, then take the first turn to the right. After a bit, you’ll see a tiny church on the right side of the road. The sign over the door says Santa Inez.

It was closed up the day we were there.

But I shot this through one of the windows, looking straight across the tiny sanctuary and out the other side.

Go to Pecos, New Mexico. Find the highway that leads north to the Pecos Wilderness. Drive for a while – I don’t know how long – and you’ll find this church on your left. If you time it just right, you’ll be there in early afternoon, in the summer, and those clouds that bring afternoon rains will be building up. But even if the sky’s clear, you should stop and look around.

In Throckmorton, there are no more Lutherans from the looks of Sunday morning at the church.

There were, however, a lot of cars at the Baptist church.
