Milk Way Over The Anthill

Over the Anthill. The Milky Way glows bright in the October sky, and if I get far enough away from the light pollution (yes we have some here in northern New Mexico), even the landscape seems to reflect the light from the stars. The grains of the anthill excavation and the stars of our galaxy rotating in unison. And as my friend Colin says in the comments “I like the juxtaposition of the smallest of creatures against the vastness of space”. Me too! Thanks for looking. G

Taos Mountain Sunset

Taos Mountain Sunset. I love it in the fall when the shadows lengthen, the tops of peaks and clouds are illuminated and the cottonwoods start to take on the air of royalty in their golden, leafy cloaks. Some of the shadows in this image are cast by the trees along the highway. The shadows on the left of frame are cast by passing cars. However I look at it, my eye follows the lines leading to the mountain in all it’s fall finery. Thanks for looking. Gtaos mountain sunset new mexico
