Old Martina’s Hall

Old Martina’s Hall, Ranchos de Taos, New Mexico. A play on words: Old Martinez Hall now Old Martina’s Hall. Martina being the new owner. I’ve driven by this building for a while now and the sculptural lines have always fascinated me. In the past, I’ve made images of the “Old Martinez Hall” and purchased beer at the now defunct drive up liquor window before the state rightfully banned drive up liquor  windows. On this occasion, I can safely say, it was the snow accentuating the sculptured form of the building that caught my eye as I drove past. Thanks for looking. G

Adobe Crumble

Adobe Crumble … what more can I say? Ok… I like the randomness of the adobe brick textures squared off against the smoothness of the window panes. The bounced light filling in the shadows has a nice glow I like. Thanks for looking. G

Alley Door In Taos

Alley Door Graffiti in downtown Taos. Not sure it’s actually graffiti, more like paint covering up graffiti on this old steel door. Thanks for looking. G

Winter Window

Not a hugely appropriate new year’s day photo upon first look. The building’s apparent abandonment, broken window panes, and the happy, glowing, brightness of the scene shining through is what made me smile.

Sometimes something catches your eye and you just have to pull over and make a picture. They still have christmas lights hanging on the marquee. Which year they were last illuminated … well, your guess is as good as mine.
