Kachinas with reflections at “The View Hotel” and Trading Post in Monument Valley. I hope you get to visit and spend some time in this most beautiful part of the southwest United States. Thanks for looking. G
Dodge truck, “Job Rated” near Twin Rocks in Bluff, Utah. The rain can make the colors pop and they did on this old Dodge. Date anyone? On a photo tour around the Four Corners. It’s been a trip! Thanks for looking. G
Kokopelli, Monument Valley. Stopped at one of the vendors and spotted this view through the rear of his stall where he sells his arts and crafts to the tourists. I have a whole photo essay and perhaps more than a lot to say reflecting on comments made to me by a number of the people we met in Monument Valley. Read more on Kokopelli here. Thanks for looking. G
Yucca plant, amidst a “forrest” of yuccas in Monument Valley, Utah. I’ve visited this most beautiful place a hundred times and it is always magical. I’m not an authority on the place but this is the first time I’ve seen so many yucca plants. Not only yuccas but so many other desert wildflowers are everywhere in this southwest super bloom year. Thanks for looking. G
Monument Valley, Arizona, Utah. A bit of a dusting at Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park. On a private photo tour this week at some of the best locations in the southwest. Luxurious accommodations and the vista from my room at the “View Hotel” in the valley this evening. Thanks for looking. G
Yellow in Wagon Mound, NM. As I said in a previous post, “I usually avoid yellow anything” but yellow sometimes presents itself in all its glory and minimal lines. Thanks for looking. G
White House Ruin in Canyon De Chelly National Monument, Arizona. It was wonderful and cool standing in the shadows of the White House Ruin in Canyon de Chelly today. It’s obvious to see why the original inhabitants built the dwellings where they did. Cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Take a tour some day with the guides at Beauty Way Jeep Tours. They will share their stories and home with you. Thanks for looking. G
Canyon De Chelly, Arizona. Cruising the overlooks this evening to get some images of the canyon from the south rim. Tomorrow morning a tour with Navajo guides on the valley floor with many water crossings. Should be fun. Stay tuned and thanks for looking. G
Lamy, New Mexico train depot luggage wagon with chile ristra. Things change and the Santa Fe Southern train station now serves coffee and home brews. The Chili Line Brewing Co. opened this weekend for business. The folks running it are delightful and if you are in the area stop in and visit the Lamy depot, step back in time and enjoy a hand crafted beer on tap. Even if you’re not catching the train to anywhere, it’s worth a visit. Things change and this feels like one for the better. Thanks for looking. G
Zig Zag, morning shadows, in downtown Las Vegas, NM. There are a lot of quirky elements in Las Vegas to incorporate in to images. Shadows form at all times of day. We spent a good part of the day ducking in and out of alleys and doorways thrilled by the surprises we found around the next staircase, building façade, and colonnade. Thanks for looking. G
