Juan Diego

Chimayo, NM
The famous Sanctuary at Chimayo, a place of pilgrimage for thousands each year, has numerous sculptures and depictions of Our Lady of Guadaloupe, the dark virgin and the humble Mexican to whom she allegedly appeared in 1531. It's worth going to Wikipedia and searching for Juan Diego to read about his impact on Catholicism in Mexico and the New World.

Valle Vidal, NM
An infrared photo of one of the Shuree Ponds in the Valle Vidal, taken in the summer of 2011, before the forest fires while the area was still accessible. It is always so peaceful there at over 9000 feet elevation. Few people, some chipmunk, and an occasional elk.

Taos, NM
Every Saturday in the summer, the Taos Farmers' Market offers an assortment of locally grown vegetables, meats, flowers, and other fare. This photo, taken last fall, makes me yearn for opening day of the market which will be soon, one imagines.

Ranchos Pot

Ranchos de Taos, NM
One of my favorite places to photograph, again and again, is in and around the Ranchos Plaza. It is home to the famous Asis Mission Church which has been painted and photographed perhaps more than any church in New Mexico. Each time there the light and shadows are different and I see (and record) something new to my eye.

See the note from yesterday !!
Also, trying to find out more about A-1 Pilsner Beer: It is an historical brand from the 1940's and 1950's, made by the Arizona Brewing Company. It was very popular in the Southwest.

Llano, NM
An aged and abandoned bar up in the mountains ... painted with terrific murals. This and the next photo give a flavor of the place. It was tough to choose just two.

Kiln Bricks

Taos, NM
What drew me was the subtlety of the colors and the randomness of the stacking. Hard working bricks!

Old Pan

Taos, NM
A sweet corner with wood, adobe, metal, ceramic, atone and withered plant life all packed into a tiny corner --- with some harmony.
