Coexistence
The despair of destruction, the hope of new construction with the buttresses on the left, the humanity of a table and chairs set outside: there’s a lot going on here.

Tree claws at moon
This is the other end of the building that’s shown here – obviously this end is holding up a little bit better.
It feels like those tree branches are clawing away at the scrap of moon in the corner, but I have an idea that the moon was able to escape.

Duplex
The road snakes its way back toward Santa Rosa, behind this adobe building, which I have taken the liberty of calling a duplex.
If you would rather go to Fort Sumner and it hasn’t rained in a while and you’re feeling brave, you can take County Road 2P. It’s neither paved nor fenced, giving the occasional traveler a very close look at cows.

Handmade marker
I’ve been to some fancy cemeteries – and have posted a lot of images from them – but the cemeteries I like the best are ones like these, in out-of-the-way towns that are mostly forgotten (the towns and the cemeteries, I mean.)
Last year, my friend Donna Catterick and I spent some time in Puerto de Luna, New Mexico, and of course the cemeteries were included in our itinerary. In El Calvario Cemetery, we spotted this tiny marker, clearly made by a family member and brought to the cemetery.
It reminds me of brown sugar that’s been pressed into a mold and then left in the elements to crumble away.
