This is the cemetary at the Taos Pueblo in Taos, New Mexico. The original San Geronimo church stood here, it was built around 1619. The church was reconstructed in 1706, it was destroyed during an uprising between the Native Americans & US Army in 1847 leaving only the bell tower. It started being used as a cemetary then - the people killed during the uprising were buried there. Residents of the Pueblo are still buried there today.

I am making two passes on this Challenge. I will vote on your photo then return later(before voting is over) to comment on what I like and dislike about your shot. You can take the comments however you wish and I will try not to be mean. Just don't take it the wrong way.
