High Road To Taos, Black And White. 07-24-2024.
Greetings from San Cristobal (Taos), NM. This week on the High Road to Taos in black and white.
This week I had the pleasure of taking my friend Larry on a photo tour on the High Road. Conditions proved to be very conducive for black and white photography. Larry was using a Canon R5 with a 24-105mm lens and I used my Sony a6400 with an 18-135mm lens along with my iPhone.
Larry got some great pictures while I enjoyed a day out in his company, sharing new locations he hadn’t seen on previous trips. He also added a Pygmy Nuthatch to his “life list” of birds, which we spotted in Amole Canyon.
The light in northern New Mexico is outstanding and ominous at times.
Below is the church in Llano de San Juan. It has one of the nicest belfries around, with the big bell exposed and not cloistered behind chicken wire or lattice to keep the pigeons out.
Sadly, the house across the plaza from the church caught fire a few years ago. I shot it anyway.
And the hippie bus with a tree growing from its nose.
As always, thanks for looking. Have a great week. G
