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.)

If your plan for the day is go to Madrid (New Mexico, I mean) you’ll go right an amazing place called Origami in the Garden.
It’s hard to even describe how stunning it is, and this photo doesn’t even begin to do it justice. Basically, it is sculptures made of metal which has been folded like origami. Anything more than rudimentary paper origami is a little too much for me to do, so the idea of someone making these pieces out of metal (METAL!) makes me a little dizzy.
The setting is stunning, the landscaping is perfect, and the art is breathtaking.

I can’t even count the number of times I drove right past the turn to Cerillos, but it’s equal to all the times I’ve driven the road, minus one: the last time there I finally made the turn. And obviously it was well worth it.
