Old Market Adorned With Turquoise January 7, 2021December 10, 2016 by Geraint The old market in Arroyo Hondo, dressed in the official state color, turquoise, and glowing in the late afternoon sun.
Red Rock December 27, 2020December 9, 2016 by Geraint The rock is only a quarter of an inch. The red on the grey caught my eye. I made five images. Each time, by rotating or moving the camera in closer, I eliminated extraneous, peripheral, clutter which was ok in a wider composition but didn’t add anything to the final image I had in mind. A tiny red rock lodged in a crack, a temporary resting place in the continuing erosion of the badlands in the desert southwest.
Winter Aspens December 30, 2020December 8, 2016 by Geraint I was attracted right away to this scene by the five trees and the four fence posts. I like numbers and spacing as a compositional element. I made this image of the winter aspens near Hopewell Lake in northern NM.

Pueblo Bonito Kiva, Chaco Canyon December 6, 2016 by Geraint It was so quiet in Chaco Canyon at Pueblo Bonito. There are sounds and echos which may be interrupted by the wind or ghosts moving through the ruins or it could have been the sound of me waving, traveling around the walls of the great kiva. Thanks for looking.

Highway 64 New Mexico December 28, 2020December 3, 2016 by Geraint Highway 64 near Hopewell Lake, New Mexico. It was -6°F this morning on the road to Ah-shi-sle-pah for a private two day photography adventure. The cold was too cold to get out. I wound down the window made a quick iPhone image, poured myself another cup of tea and headed off to meet my client. Stay tuned for up coming images from the trip.
Canyon Walls December 29, 2020December 2, 2016 by Geraint There are a number of vista points on the Rio Grande Gorge rim from which to view the river and to watch the shadows, cast from the opposite rim, silently descend or ascend the respective canyon wall. The river reflects the colors of the sky.
Winter Lake December 1, 2016 by Geraint It was cold out there. We pulled into the deserted rest area. There were no tire tracks or footprints in the snow. Within a couple of minutes there was a line of vehicles, whose passengers lined up to use the restroom. From the silence amid the gusts of the freezing cold wind, to a full service rest area. Onward.
