I've photo'ed that chruch too, before there was a restriction on asking permission.
I think yours cries out for conver to black and white - which will emphasize the story there - The last time I was actually at the pueblo was 1994 - I was driving my ex boss at general Electric and her mom around the southwest as a kind of a tour guide. So we had to go... but it was very sad to see. I lived in Taos for almost 3 months in 1956 and didn't go to the pueblo at all then because I thought it was rude to go and gape . 19 years old and idealistic. ann (you can tell I jsut woke up - i'm running off at the keybaord) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: >Taken at the Taos Pueblo.
