This keeps the whole thing running
Way above Albuquerque, this machinery keeps the Sandia Peak Tram moving up and down the mountain. You can see another view of the structure on the Tram Cam.
I’d explain how all this works, only I don’t really know. I could ask a certain civil engineer of my acquaintance, but his explanations tend to be rather lengthy. (I once asked him, as we were leaving the house for a one-hour drive to my grandfather’s house, to explain pre- and post-stressed concrete. He was just winding up the lecture as we pulled into my grandfather’s driveway. At least it wasn’t a FIVE hour trip…..)

Remember how, in the White on White, 4 post, I mentioned the possibility of perhaps using shots taken somewhere other than Texas?
Here we go: New Mexico!

Another view of the architecture building at the University of New Mexico. See what I said about it in November.
I sure do like some New Mexico sky in a photo…..

There might be something wrong with me (to state what’s probably blindingly obvious).
I am studying The Practice of Contemplative Photography; the assignment was “color” – specifically to “Keep a narrow focus on color. Look at color in a simple and open way…When you see flashes of color – free from concept – eye and mind will be on the same axis.”
I worked on the assignment over a few days – this shot was taken with my iPhone in a truck stop parking lot.
But, here’s why I think there’s something wrong with me: I posted my “color” assignment in black and white, because I like it better that way.

Shadows and reflections and reflections of shadows.
The building was designed by famed architect Antoine Predock, the 2005 winner of the American Institute of Architects Gold Medal, the Institute’s highest honor.
