Tonight On Taos Mountain

Sunset on Taos Mountain and a little Sangre de Cristo. It was cold today, and the mountains were pristine. I made this image of the peaks on Taos Mountain at the last moment. I liked the low light levels as the colors got quite dense at that point, and the slight hint of blues and grays came through. Thanks for looking.

Wolf Moon, El Prado, NM

A drive by sighting in El Prado, NM this evening. The “Wolf Moon” burst on the scene as if arriving at its own surprise party. People showed up, and were pulled over all along the highway north of Taos. Thanks for looking. G

This location has been a feature over the last month. Seems like a good way to end the year with a sunset on the cottonwood trees in El Prado, NM

Red-tailed Hawk, El Prado

Hawk and Starlings
Driving past this scene in El Prado I spotted the potential for an image. I made a u-turn and found that I could line up the Red-tailed Hawk in front of the brighter cloud giving it the back lighting. The hawk has a penchant for Starlings. Timing is everything. Thanks for looking.

The storm left a rainbow in it’s wake across the fields to the mountain. A great location for sky watching in El Prado, NM.

Taos Mountain Meadow

In a meadow wide, rolling in the wind, swaying in mind, the mountain’s resolve, carries a thought home.

Cottonwoods, El Prado, NM

storm over the sangre de cristos, taos new mexico

It’s always great to anticipate the potential for making an image. This evening was no exception. The shadows are cast from the setting sun through the trees lining the highway in El Prado, a favorite location of mine. The Columbine, Hondo Wilderness is visible through the clouds.
