I often visit this Burned Out Church, Southern Colorado. I cannot remember all the details, but I recall that this structure was once a church that burned down, and some dead school children were involved. Not exactly a happy place, but timeless in many ways. I’ll explain why as we mill through some shots…

The facade hides much of the desolation contained. Whenever I go, the wind is always at it- low howling sounds can be heard. When outside the structure, you can get buffeted around trying to take a steady shot.. Notice my shutter speed was at 1/320.

Inside, you’re more protected from the winds. You might have expected some floors, interior walls, even a floor. But there is none of that. The floor is just gravel, with a few cement supports. The outside walls are wonderfully layered with adobe and brick.
