The Sacred
As I mentioned in an earlier post, this church holds Mass once a month, at 2:00 p.m. But I believe the church doors are always unlocked, just in case.

An inhospitable landscape
Everything seems dangerous out here. And even someone’s final resting place doesn’t seem too tranquil.

Famous Artists
The cemetery? The Famous Artists are at the cemetery?
I’ve got to be honest here – that’s a little discouraging.

Wilderness
Remember that I came to Shafter because of that story about a monk?
He’s about to become part of the narrative, but in the meantime, check out the way the light’s bouncing around here? Lovely, isn’t it?

From on High
The biggest building in town is the Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic Church; a notice posted next to the front door said Mass is celebrated there on the third Sunday of each month, at 2:00 p.m. That door was locked, but the side door wasn’t. I let myself in and spent a happy hour inside exploring and photographing.
This view, from the loft, was my favorite and I was especially captivated by the shadows behind the altar.
