It’s a sleepy evening, so let’s keep it simple. Here are a few photos from a trip we took to New Mexico this past May. I’m going to post and run. See you dreamland!
This is somewhere in northern New Mexico on the road between Santa Fe and Taos. Probably the most amazing thing was these views were everywhere. We just happened to stop here to take a few photos.
Old Santa Fe was filled with shops hawking everything from fine art to kitsch. Given the beauty of the area I was surprised by the amount of cheesy stuff for sale, but it is America. These plastic fruits and veggies on a rope are certainly colorful eye-catchers, but ultimately they are just plastic fruit and veggies on a rope.
It certainly does. Your photos of Santa Fe are lovely.
Have never been to New Mexico, but plan on visiting. Your pics are another reason to go!
Book those tickets! And take plenty of photos!
Great photographs! When I was a teenager we visited Santa Fe and ventured out to Chimayo. We had dinner at a place called Rancho de Chimayo. I remember the food was very good, but the best part was the “dining room” was an outdoor terrace with kerosene lamps on the tables and hundreds of stars overhead. Your pictures reminded me of that lovely place.
I pretty sure Rancho de Chimayo is still there. I seem to remember an eatery with an outdoor terrace, although we didn’t eat there.
great photos and thanks for not including any of those horrible casinos that have cropped up along the road.
Drat! They were going to be my next post!
Really liked photo #2 – beautiful sky!!
The Southwest is truly a wonderland and you have captured its beauty and spirit in your photos.
It is a pretty spectacular place so it’s easy to point a camera in any direction and get something purdy.
Thanks, but they are no Wonderbutt!
