Greetings from San Cristobal, NM. This week, Ute Mountain and the Rio Grande in the Wild and Scenic Rivers area of the Rio Grande del Norte National Monument. Taos Mountain is preparing for winter and mountain biking in the Taos Ski Valley.
I love it when we visit this location, I feel sure you know it, and the shadows from the fast-moving clouds pass over the landscape creating numerous composition possibilities. I hope my clients get some images they want to share.
This picture of Taos Mountain has been popping up recently. One of these days I’ll print one for myself and hang it on our living room wall. It will warm up the room as we settle into the colder seasons.
I watched this guy head down a trail at the terrain park in Taos Ski Valley. I composited nine images to get the shot. It looks like he was out on a Sunday ride, not a mountain biking course. There’s a nice trail to hike nearby.
As always, thank you for looking. Have a great week. G

Perfect places to enjoy fall weather … I can easily recall mountain biking such areas
ThanksM
Thanks, Mara. I’ll be mountain biking the flat trails this coming year. G
As a mountain biker (ok maybe a retired one) I love the composition with the guy going down the trail. But this trail is above my pay grade.
Thanks so much, Michael. I doubt I will do the trail although it is more tame than trails I’ve done in the past. Yes I like my shot, I think it works. I hope you are well. G
Beautiful!
Thanks, Dana. I hope you are doing well. G
Your work is so amazing, Geraint. That Ute Mountain shot looks like something out of Lord of the Rings – beautiful and other-worldly.

It’s a plan. Thanks so much, Jim. G
