Santa Fe Gallery Wall. I love finding these little vignettes. The space between. Art beyond the walls.

Pivot Irrigator, Fort Garland, Colorado
Pivot Irrigator, Fort Garland, in the San Luis Valley, Colorado. When driving around the west, on the lookout for jaw dropping scenes to photograph, and add to the portfolio, sometimes I stop for an image that just happens to be there. In fact, when I look back through the years I find that I stop for a lot of images that “just happen to be there.” Over all the miles I’ve traveled, these images fill in the blanks, and connect the dots on the map I’ve created over the years. Thanks for looking, G.
Bison Painting, D.H. Lawrence Ranch
Bison Painting, D H Lawrence Ranch. 1934 Bison painting by Trinidad Archuleta of Taos Pueblo on the DH Lawrence cabin in San Cristobal, NM.
I was looking through some photos on CDs that I exhumed from their current resting place in my closet, mostly back up discs from 2001, with lots of images of my young children at the time. In amongst them I found images from a trip I took with my parents to the D.H. Lawrence ranch. It was their second visit there during the numerous trips they made to the southwest over the years. This photograph of the Bison painting was in there with some shots of my parents hanging out in the shade of the cabin porch. We grew up reading D.H. in school in the UK. I didn’t care for him much then, but came to like his writing later in my life. “I think New Mexico was the greatest experience from the outside world that I have ever had. It certainly changed me forever…” Well … that certainly resonates with me. Thankful for the memories… and thanks for looking. G
Chevrolet Truck And Ute Mountain
Chevrolet truck with a view of Ute Mountain. Find an old truck, with a view out the windshield, stick the camera in the cab, get it all framed up, include the prerequisite spider of a crack in the windshield for full authenticity. The nice condition of the cab interior finishes it off. And yep! … there you have it! Thanks for looking. G
Face In The Clouds, Sangre De Cristos
Face in the clouds over the Sangre De Cristo mountains, northern New Mexico. Does anybody know this person? I made a number of images of this face cloud developing over the foothills. It amazed me as I watched it happen. Thanks for looking. G
San Cristobal Moon Rise
San Cristobal moon rise and Taos Mountain with shades of magenta and blues. We stepped out side this evening for some cool air just as the moon rose above Taos Mountain and as the sun cast it’s evening swan song colors on the whole scene. Thanks for looking. G
Lightning Strikes On The Mesa
Lightning strikes on the mesa west of Taos. This is an image of six lightning strikes in the same location and composited into one frame. I’m posting this to see if it inspires rain soon. I may post more monsoon images over the next few days. This is my version of a rain dance, far more acceptable to me than dancing on the deck chanting something to bring about rain… although I have been known to do that… after all, I do hail from a long line of Druids!
Thunderheads And Monsoons
Thunderheads and monsoon clouds building over the Sangre de Cristo foothills. Looking forward to some cool rains a little later this week.
Fourth Of July Window
Fourth of July window. Pulled this one for the occasion from a recent road trip through southern Colorado.
Dodge Truck, El Prado
Dodge truck parked, with no plans of travel this holiday weekend or any future weekends for that matter. That’s great ’cause it’s a fun location, subject and photo op. Had a great photo tour today at the St. Francis church, El Prado for these trucks, the cascading creeks and waterfalls in the Taos Ski Valley, ending at the high bridge and the Rio Grande Gorge. Happy 4th of July. Thanks for looking. G
