Volunteer Fire Department. Buildings and locations from days past in “old” New Mexico and the old stuff returning to earth all over the state. I’ve added this building, in downtown Tierra Amarilla, to the “almost gone portfolio”. Thanks for looking. G
Green room at the Tierra Amarilla Trading Post. Stopped in on a photo tour today. Most of this building was intact when I first saw it many moons ago.

Boardwalk, Steps, Bricks, Pink Wall. On our trip through southern Colorado and northern New Mexico to check out the aspens, we dropped in at Tierra Wools in Los Ojos, NM, where I spent some time looking around the architecture in the village. I’ll post a few images over the next few days from this sweet outpost known for it’s fiber arts, yarns and sheep round up each spring and fall. Here is the boardwalk at the entrance to Tierra Wools. I thought the colors had a hint of fall to them. G
