Photo Tour Of The Week. 05-13-2026

Greetings from San Cristobal, NM! I hope everyone had a great week. This week, I went on a photo tour around the Moreno Valley along the Enchanted Circle drive. During the tour, I found an intriguing scene that caught my eye. Initially, I didn’t notice the pole arch adorned with weathered boots, but I think it complements the turquoise boxcar beautifully. There is an endless supply of quirky, weird, and wonderful subjects out there. Sometimes, all it takes is another look and a photograph to truly appreciate them.

No, you can’t “call home” on this photo tour from this pay phone at the Pilar BLM Visitors Center. It’s kept there for posterity.

Join me on a photo tour/workshop sometime. I promise to show you the enchanted landscapes of northern New Mexico, the quirky stuff, or both.

As always, thanks for looking. Have a great week. G
