Old Church, Taiban, New Mexico, USA

“Taiban is known for its old Presbyterian Church, a lonely, gutted house of worship visited by photographers and the traveling faithful. The church, once part of a neighborhood which included homes, businesses, and the two-story Taiban High School, now sits by itself out on the prairie. Not a single business remains in Taiban.”

Interesting building. There were a few people still living in the town.

Thanks so much for commenting on my photo of the old church in Taiban, New Mexico. We drove many miles out of our way to find it. I used HDR processing on it to accentuate the weathered wood.
