Hello from New Mexico. I hope everyone had a great week. This week, a flashback to 2013 at the Chama Depot, the New Mexico terminus of the Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad. I found it impossible to find the lunar occultation, but I did give it a go. I was probably distracted by the world cup football match playing at the time. Yesterday, I had some minor surgery on my hand that makes it difficult to hold my graphic pen to edit images. I don’t poscess a mouse nor can I use one very well. I’ve used a graphics pen and tablet for 20 years. Things should be back to normal next week. I’ll also be adding a few new pieces to the new work page in a few days.
The Chama depot on the Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad.
I shot the above image in July 2013, editing in black and white gave it a historical feel. I seem to recall chasing the train for a couple of days during a week long photo trek with my friend Ron during that summer.
I have made many trips over the years with Ron. And we’ve made many images on those trips. Check out Ron’s website, I think you’ll enjoy his work.

Here’s the shot I got of the restaurant.
As always, thanks for looking. Have a great week. G
