Night time walk in the park, Taos New Mexico. There’s a lot of light in the dark. “When it’s dark enough, you can see the stars.” Ralph Waldo Emerson. Thanks for looking. G
Guadalupe, painted on a home in Servilleta, New Mexico. On a photo tour last week, in a convoy, on roads less traveled in northern New Mexico. Join us, it works and social distancing is easy in your car and at each location as you’ll want to get a different shot from other photographers anyway. Thanks for looking. G
Dance Hall (formerly), in Petaca, New Mexico. It is now part of a residence of a sweet lady I met who has a long history here. She also had plenty of time to share that history with me on her way out to put gas in her pickup truck. As you can imagine there’s a lot of history that this 83 year old woman could share. In brief she told me, her family lived close by and that she was grateful for that. Thanks for looking. G
San Luis Valley homestead, Colorado. A former family home on the plateau long ago deserted, currently frequented by scavengers who steal the copper wiring from the power lines and dwelling. The current owner allowed me access to the property but warned me of snakes. Consider me warned! It’s a lovely stop on my San Luis Valley photo tour, to learn the history and make some images, while pondering a bygone era. Thanks for looking. G
San Antonio Mountain, New Mexico with center pivot irrigation system, arching over the mountain. When I saw this scene I had a notion that I might be able to line the two up. I positioned my self and waited for the water stream to recycle. I was lucky that San Antonio Mountain (an extinct volcano, reputed the be the largest free standing mountain in the continental US) remained in the sunlight. Thanks for looking and for joining me in the moment. G
Ute Mountain, tree, clouds, sunset. Below is one of many images from my afternoon and evening drive yesterday. I was headed to the aspen groves to make some images of green trunks, new growth and rustling new leaves. The area was closed for Elk calving until July 25th. Onward! As is often the case, a carefree attitude is rewarded with sublime moments. Yesterday was a good day for an outing and some fun images like this mountain halo. Stay tuned. Thanks for looking. G
Tumbleweed, fence posing. These wispy, feathery tumbleweed fronds are clinging to the elk fence lining the highway. The tumbleweeds are sometimes referred to as mesa street sweepers. They can often be seen frolicking along with appendages such as plastic bags and other trappings. Taken uo and deposited here by the wind and ultimately freed by the wind. This one will be sifted through the fence soon. Thanks for looking. G
