Laurie Beth Zuckerman's photo of a Madonna in
Rinconada cemetery, Northern New Mexico near Taos

Laurie Beth Zuckerman's photo of the Madonna
and Jesus in the Rinconada cemetery 
Laurie Beth Zuckerman photographed this roadside shrine and cemetery near Taos several years ago. I have never seen such a majestic backdrop to a simple Camposanto cemetery.

This is my Day 7 entry for "A Virgin a Day." To witness all the other wonderful contributions by artists around the country, log onto Rebecca Brooks site: http://www.corazon.typepad.com/

When I see Mary all chippy and worn it touches my heart so much!! Beautiful as was the one yesterday.

The backdrop is very dramatic and makes the statues that much more reverent. Beautiful images. Wonderful capture.
