Colors of Santa Fe v

Cristo Rey Church – Built by parishioners, the church contains a rare stone altar screen made for one of the city's earliest chapels.

This series was shot in Santa Fe, New Mexico – the oldest capital city in the United States (settled in 1610). Santa Fe is home to a diverse mix of cultures, including Native-, Hispanic-, and Anglo-Americans. It sits nestled among the Sangre de Cristo mountains at about 7000 feet (2134 meters) above sea level. Everywhere you turn in Santa Fe you notice a beautiful, rich color palette.
