At the same time I submitted the first three photos I had taken, I submitted this photo which I had taken on a trip to the Quarai ruins in 2009 with my nephew Steve and his wife Jill. The angle of the photo is very close to the original, and since it was a recent photo I wanted to see if they would accept that as an entry, thinking it would save me one place I would not have to “re- visit” . They did accept it. This was one of the photos I identified right away due to the frequency of my visits to this location. Quarai is one of three units in the Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument. The building in the photo is the Nuestra Señora de La Purisima Concepcion de Cuarac. It stands 40 ft tall and once had walls that were approximately 3 to 6 ft wide |
