Chevrolet truck with a view of Ute Mountain. Find an old truck, with a view out the windshield, stick the camera in the cab, get it all framed up, include the prerequisite spider of a crack in the windshield for full authenticity. The nice condition of the cab interior finishes it off. And yep! … there you have it! Thanks for looking. G
Red barn San Luis Valley with Ute Mountain. The barn was very red all over, and now sits there hosting hawks, owls and the occasional photographer, and fading to a wonderful patina fitting of all old barns out there.
Ute Mountain twilight, heading home from Colorado, south to San Cristobal, NM this evening. The sight of Ute Mountain is a beacon on the horizon. It acknowledges, that at this point, it’s only forty minutes to home. Not far now!
Ute Mountain emerges from the clouds after last weekend’s snow storm. Ute Mountain is north of Taos on the road to Colorado and often appears protruding, fin like, moving through the clouds. It also creates it’s own weather system. I’ve often seen rain and snow falling solely on the dome of this extinct volcano, a major geological feature in the Taos Volcanic Field/Plateau. Here’s another image of Ute.
Adobe Route, Free Climbing Pigeons. “I got this… I got this!” at the St. Francis Church Ranchos de Taos, NM. I’m guessing here… perhaps they were eating seeds they discovered in the mud or bits of gravel for their crop. One thing I’m certain about, as I watched them work their way up the building, flying would have been the easier route to take. Thanks for looking. G
Greetings from the Vale Vidal, in the high country of northern New Mexico. My computer and internet are running really slow today so I’m heading to the mountains. Here’s a favorite stopping point, Comanche Point at the confluence of the Rio Costilla and Comanche Creek. You know the place. Not a lot of water, though some areas are very green and lush, and the clouds are outstanding.
Enjoy! See you next week.

Checking out the aspen groves, it’s looking like it will be fabulous fall color up here!
•
It’s always fun to stop in the San Luis Valley and photograph a dilapidated ruin en-route to the Valle Vidal.

Three hours later I can safely say…. “As always, thanks for looking. Have a great week”. G
Greetings from New Mexico. I hope everyone had a good week. This week, five views from the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge looking south, one looking north at the bridge itself spanning the canyon 600 feet above the river, and one of the bridge under a rainbow.

•
Driving over the bridge at any time of day affords spectacular views.
•
Added bonus of winter in the canyon are accents of snow.
•
Because the summer storms are almost always accompanied by rainbows.
•
Looking north to the bridge, where the previous images were taken from.
•
All the images above are available as fine art prints on paper and on canvas. The first picture graces the cover of my book, Rio Grande del Norte: An Intimate Portrait.
Read more about the bridge here.
The highway crossing the bridge is US 64, the ‘other mother road‘, and a beautiful drive in this part of the country..
As always, thanks for looking. Have a great week. G
