Greetings from San Cristobal, NM. This week, the red barn and its neighbors, Comet Atlas, the Arroyo Hondo cottonwood tree, and an image from October 27, 2020, with the piles of snow we have unfortunately not received this year.
The red barn is deteriorating before my eyes. The siding might as well fall off while I’m standing there looking, and it’s also starting to twist from the prevailing winds.
If we ever get snow again the scene will look like this.
Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS (C/2023 A3) shot on an iPhone 13 Pro Max on October 13, 2024. I couldn’t resist the ease of what the iPhone can accomplish these days. The comet image is a little soft however, night mode on the phone is very good for handheld shots. It’s even better on a tripod.
The same scene on November 1, 2018.
This scene below is on our deck on October 27, 2020.
As always, thanks for looking. Have a great week where you are. G

The Arroyo Hondo tree looks so colorful beneath the stormy clouds. And the comet is indeed awesome..
My favorite tree! Thank you Amelia. G
It was pretty pleasing ending midweek with this unique set of lovely photos. Ever grateful. M
Thanks so much, Mara, appreciated. G
Several nights I was out wanting to see the comet. So glad that you got a photo for me.
I used my cell phone each night. Quick and easy and it could pick out what I couldn’t. Thanks, Joy. G
Really enjoyed the comet photo. Thanks!
Thanks so much, Kent. G
Love these images, my favorite being the comet. The clouds and soft light were perfect for it. Outstanding!
Thanks so much, Larry. I was pleasantly surprised at how it came out. I’m ready for the next one. G
Great photos Geraint! I think the barn is significantly more deteriorated than when we were there just over a year ago.

You are correct about the barn. It’s literally in a downward spiral. The holes help prevent it from acting like a total full sail! Thanks, Scott. G
