I'm a sucker for this window, as several years ago Nicole and I took our first road trip and SHE took a photograph just like this and then I wanted to go back and take one just like it, only with MY camera....I guess that's the best compliment I could have given her perspective!

Georgia O'Keefe spent some time here painting, as have many missionaries dating back long, long ago. The cool thing about the church is the building construction, out of local materials (clay!). They have rebuilt this church many times after severe flooding!

I love little off-cropped images and color like this!
