Photograph the iconic adobe San Francisco de Asís church and its sculptural buttresses against the Sangre de Cristo foothills — a study in texture, warm earth tones and dramatic skies. Best at sunrise or sunset for side-lit façades and long shadows; after storms for moody clouds. The church sits in a small plaza with street parking; no fee to photograph exteriors but be respectful of services and locals. Interiors may be dim and occasionally closed to tourists.
