half-way
About half way up the drive to Los Alamos there’s a scenic pullout, and “normal” travelers might pull over long enough to take some selfies and/or glance across the landscape before they get back in their cars and resume the trip.
Photographers (who are almost never in the “normal” camp) will pull over, turn off the car, get out cameras and lenses and tripods and ND filters, and spent a long-ass time making photos.
In case you were wondering why it takes photographers practically forever to get anywhere.

constrained view
For a long time I didn’t know there was anything in particular to see in Cerillos. (Also: how fun to get to hear “see in Cerillos” in my head!) I guess I wasn’t the only one who had that opinion, because if you go all the way to the end of Waldo Street – past the trading post AND the petting zoo – you can find these devices which helpfully point your gaze in all five important directions. (Note, however, that the one on the left doesn’t give you the promised view of Pyramid Peak but rather offers a view of the trees that were a lot shorter with the thing was placed. Presumably.)

i have no place left to hide
Seriously, it’s really kind of hard to take a photo that’s not interesting when your travel/photography day includes Northern New Mexico.
I’m not bragging on my mad photography skills at all: it’s not me, but the place. It’s like Photo Magic™.

phantom
This dancer was popular with the crowd, who cheered them on during the performance.
Also: those tattoos! And that beard!

How much fun were these dancers having?
They were having all the fun possible to have.
