After dinner in Taos I was walking around the plaza when I noticed the evening sky and this cross designed by local artist Ted Egri and placed on the plaza in honor of the many people of Taos who died in the Bataan Death March during World War II. It made me think of "Black Cross New Mexico," one of my favorite paintings by Georgia O'Keeffe. Enjoy your Sunday everyone.

Beautiful post, Randy. One of my mom's cousins was a survivor of Bataan, although he was crippled for life as a result.
Madre mía con las cruces... que miedo.
Saludos y un abrazo.
Buen domingo.
I like this a lot, Randy! Great night shot. Beautiful silhouette against that gorgeous sky!
Georgia O´Keeffe and the museum was one of the reasons why I wanted to visit Santa Fe in 2008. I love the bone paintings by O´Keeffe and the photos of Georgia`s hands by Stieglitz

Stunning shot.
I like the dark shadowing here.
Lovely sky. I had never heard of the Bataan Death March until now, a fitting tribute
amazing colours and contrast
Thanks so much for this beautiful shot, the silhouettes are magnificent, I love the sensation of twilight, some romantic feeling in the air, and in this case PEACE seeing that cross!

Excellent mood to this twilight silhouette Randy. I love the atmosphere of this image.
Nice colors and silhouette!
Such a beautiful night time shot.
Great eye, Randy. I always love a sky like this.
I like the effect of the silhouetted cross and the branches against the blue sky.
The tree and cross against the evening sky are just beautiful. I love when life reminds us of art and art reminds us of life.
tres belle photo, surperbe ce contre-jour sur cette croix
Really dark tone to this one. I like it, though. Absolutely beautiful.
The cross and the branches almost seem to be one..
Nice capture Randy :)
The light is great!
the cross gives a dimension which I like!
The light is fantastic! My favourite part of the day.
Wonderful imagery! Love it.

Lovely backdrop for a monumental piece.

Nice composition! The night sky is so good.
Fantastic colours Randy!!!

I keep missing your posts because Santa Fe DP is stuck with the fenced in horse on the CDP portal.
Yes, I see what you saw here. And it's a gorgeous photo.
Always beautiful with silhouettes in the blue hour ...
A beautiful picture. Thanks for sharing the story behind this cross.
Have a nice day.
