EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of history and tradition in the Church of Quarai, located within the Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument in the remote Salinas Valley of New Mexico. The image showcases the architectural heritage of this ancient church against a backdrop of a cloudy desert sky. The ruins stand as a testament to the rich cultural and religious significance that once thrived within these stone walls. With its vibrant blue hues contrasting with the earthy tones, this photograph beautifully portrays both the grandeur and decay that time has bestowed upon this historic site. As one gazes at this image, they are transported back in time, envisioning how worshippers would have gathered here for centuries to practice their Catholic faith. The clouds overhead add an air of mystery and contemplation to the scene, emphasizing the spiritual nature of this place. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a reminder of our connection to history and our responsibility to preserve it. It invites us to explore our own roots while appreciating different cultures and traditions from around North America. Wendy Connett/Robert Harding's skillful photography allows us to appreciate both the beauty and fragility found within these old ruins, reminding us that even amidst decay, there is still immense beauty waiting to be discovered.
