Chapel

101214

I stayed on campus when I attended a photography workshop earlier this summer in Santa Fe. The campus used to be a monastery, and there’s still a chapel on the grounds. Almost every afternoon, when I’d walk to my room, I could hear someone inside the chapel playing the flute. It was lovely, and calming. I wanted to go inside, to let the curve of that handrail pull me toward the music, but it felt like it would be an intrusion on the flautist. Instead, I walked a little slower, gaining a few more seconds of a serenade.

Contrasting

A study in contrasts – of dark/light, smooth/rough, alive/dead.

Night registration

I guess when that cross-country drive in the giant motor home gets to be too much, a campground with night registration is a welcome sight. Even if it looks a little ominous.

A tenacious tree

Who knows how that tree survives, clinging to the cliff like that? You have to admire its tenacity.

Playground

I feel like maybe this playground and this other one are cousins.
