Blocked

The thing about going someplace like Santa Fe is that all the regular stuff has been photographed about a million times. (I’ve made those shots, too: it’s some kind of law or Photographer’s Code or something, I think.)
But after that’s out of the way, it’s time for peering down alleys. And walking around back.
And that’s how you find a short alley, blocked by a trash container, with a discarded Christmas tree in the far corner.
I like it a lot better than another photo of the Palace of the Governors.

Yup, get off the well trodden path, for sure!

“Off the path” is my favorite location!

Perhaps the container and locked gate in background are protecting that Christmas tree. After all you shot this Christmas Eve.

I think the tree was trying to escape back to the forest, and the container was keeping it cornered until the authorities could arrive.
