"Winter at Whitefish Point Lighthouse" - A classic portrayal of Lake Superior’s oldest active lighthouse, ideal for bringing a sense of history and beauty to any setting. It’s one of my favorite spots to visit, especially during the winter season.

In 1846, this church played a pivotal role in an uprising when Mexicans and Indigenous people resisted the American annexation of their territory during the Mexican-American War. They killed the newly appointed American governor, Charles Bent, and marched on Santa Fe. Government troops and volunteers advanced on Taos, where they launched an assault on the Mexican and Indigenous dissidents seeking sanctuary within the formidable walls of the San Geronimo church. The church, boasting walls measuring between 3 and 7 feet in thickness acted as an impregnable fortress. The first day the American cannon balls lodged themselves in the thick adobe with little effect. Seeing that the bombardment was not successful, the next day forces led by Colonel Price resorted to setting the roof on fire and storming the building. The cannon ball-riddled mission church was left to ruin and a new church was built in 1850. I took this photo when I was there in 2016.

Location: St. Jerome (San Geronimo) Catholic Church ruins and Cemetery

This is a church ruin and cemetery in northern New Mexico. The remains of the church are made of adobe and graves are marked with simple crosses. The ground is very tan and the sky is blue.
