Tree, barren
My trip to Santa Fe, New Mexico, last spring was just early enough to be before the trees were committed to the idea of warm weather, so they hadn’t leaf out quite yet. But that was fine with me, because this scene wouldn’t have been as interesting if it had had leaves instead of bare branches.

Pivot Point
The elevation at Clines Corners, New Mexico, is a little more than 7,000 feet, which is pretty high for a place that’s not even in the mountains. But on the broad plain north of town, it feels like you can touch the sky.
And on the day I was there, it seemed like the clouds were using that distant power pole as their pivot point.

Real Life Intrudes
At first this trail seemed like it was heading into a pristine wilderness.
But then, suddenly, it wasn’t.

The divine (and everything else)
The juxtaposition caught my attention. The old chapel on the one side and all the stuff of regular life on the other – the signs, the garage, the dirt parking lot, the electric meter.

There have been many requests
This place, Chimayó, is considered a sacred and healing location; as many as 300,000 pilgrims each year journey to this remote place seeking the healing properties of the dirt from a small room off the main church.
Outside of the church, there are various shrines like this one, all crowded with crosses, candles, and hopes.
