Fine Art Images from the American Southwest

Tipis, Ranchos de Taos, New Mexico

Tipis south of Ranchos de Taos, New Mexico. I headed here first last night for the conjunction but the elements didn’t align. So I headed to the church shortly afterward. That worked out fine and print sales were brisk today. I did shoot some images at the tipis before heading to the church. I added the antique aged distressed look to the shot. Keep looking up! The planets are still passing in the night. Well, not really, Saturn is just under half a billion miles further out into space than mighty Jupiter. Thanks for looking. G

GMC Truck, Overland Ranch, Taos, New Mexico

GMC Truck at the Overland Ranch compound, Taos, New Mexico. No truck is an island unto itself! This familiar location with a backdrop of Taos Mountain (Pueblo Peak), always inspires a photo. I made a quick stop in here as the snow receded, it left the truck looking like it was washed ashore and stranded. Thanks for looking. G

Conjunction, Crescent Moon, Jupiter, Saturn, Taos Plateau

Conjunction, this evening with the crescent Moon, Jupiter, and Saturn, over the Taos Plateau. Tres Orejas (Three Ears or Three Peaks) with the distant Jemez Mountains, formed the anchor for this beautiful sight. Gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous. A precursor to the upcoming Great Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter on December 21, 2020. Thanks for looking. G
