humility

Chimayo, New Mexico

the humility of the rudimentary cross in the courtyard seemed touching...the place is famous, a destination for pilgrims, yet is modest and earthy as well

El Santuario de Chimayo, completed in 1816, is a National Historic Landmark, and welcomes about 300,000 visitors per year

A great shot of this famous pilgrimage site. I love that it hasn't been 'fancified'.

You picked a good time for this with good lighting and no tourists. Certainly a feel of humility and sobriety conveyed here. Value often so noticeably absent in places of worship. "V"

I agree, there is something very touching about this unassuming little church and its wooden cross. Nicely captured image. V
