It's sort of a hole in the wall type place. It was easily the best food I had in Santa Fe, though in the limited time we were there we didn't get to eat at too many places. For dessert: sopapillas with cinnamon and honey... yum.

This huge cathedral is the main landmark in Santa Fe. It was built in the 19th century over a period of about 20 years. In front of the building are statues of St. Francis of Assisi; Kateri Tekakwitha (pictured), the first North American Indian to be made a saint; and Father Jean-Baptiste Lamy, the first Archbishop of Santa Fe.

This was taken inside the Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi. No Photoshop tricks here; the lighting was really awesome.

Wife and I took a trip to Santa Fe the weekend before last. This was my first visit to the city and I would love to go back someday. It's a really cool little town with a great art scene and lots of good restaurants. The myriad adobe buildings lend a nice charm to the city and the grand, ornate churches are quite beautiful.

Loretto Chapel, above, is known for its magnificent staircase (not pictured) which was featured on an episode of "Unsolved Mysteries." I loved the arches in the ceiling and all the details and ornamentation. The lighting was a bit difficult for my 18-55 "kit lens" but I managed to get a few decent shots by bumping up the ISO quite a bit.

I love the geometry and lighting in this shot. This is very close to what it looked like in person.
