I went down to San Lorenzo Canyon a few weeks back, when the cottonwoods were still yellow, and captured as many photos as I could.
Old San Ysidro Church (Corrales)
This classic New Mexican church was built over 150 years ago. It hasn’t been used as a church for many years (even decades) now but is still lovingly maintained. Listed on both the State Register of Cultural Properties and the National Register of Historic Places, it’s become quite a bit more difficult to photograph without including all the attendant signage.
