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 New Mexico. This week, a bighorn sheep, a black and white of the Taos Pueblo North House with a waning moon, and more. I hope everyone had a good week. I was out with some wonderful clients and friends.
When we first spotted him under a tree. He was eating leaves and some grass.
He proceeded to climb the scree slope and pose for a grand profile shot.
He was curious but also got bored with us and didn’t move for what seemed ages, (about two minutes)’ so we left him alone to carry on. We also carried on with our Red River photo tour for fall colors, which are stunning right now. On our return trip, our friend here, hadn’t moved from the same roadside spot. The leaves and grass must have been extra delicious.
As promised, the black and white of Taos Pueblo with ladders outstreched as if reaching to the moon.
Earlier in the week I spotted this Golden Eagle near the lake and appropriately named town of Eagle Nest.
Here’s another Golden Eagle at an other time.
Over the last two weeks we’ve made numerous trips to the mountains for fall colors. Here’s one I created near Hopewell Lake with intentional camera movement. It’s been a good autumn so far with more to come.
As always, thanks for visiting and looking. Have a great week where you are. G
Greetings from New Mexico. This week a random selection of lone trees around this area, in black and white.
I’m rather partial to lone trees and since the fall of the iconic Taos Welcome Tree, I see them everywhere, especially out in the vast open places.

I like the single bird in silhouette.
