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 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.
As always, thanks for visiting and looking. G
This week, a three-day photo trek. Day two was spent around Ute Mountain, the anchor peak of the San Luis Valley. It can be seen from just about everywhere in the Valley. The weather did not disappoint. Infact all three days were special.
I hope everyone had a good week in your part of the world.
When the sun broke through the clouds that morning.

Looks good in black and white.

Later in the day, we circled back by Ute Mountain.

Looks good in black and white, it was that kind of day.

A panorama of the scene that morning with Larry setting up a composition. Larry Urquhart is a photographer from Brenham, Texas. Let me know if you’d like to join his email list. I’ll send an introduction, and you’ll see some outstanding work. He sends out an informative, picture driven, email every five or six weeks.
