Art Place
Here’s a broader view of an earlier post. The illustration of the church is quite nice, particularly because that exact view isn’t possible in real life, as the church is hemmed in with a river, some mountains, a highway, and parking lots. I guess this is a God’s eye view?

More on the way
This is what we saw on the way to see this church: last week’s snowfall and clouds bringing the next round piling up on the mountains.

Lies not in finding
Most stairways are just a means of conveyance. But this one makes a statement at the same time. Multi-tasking!

So much in so little
We were in a bakery, because it’s so important to support local businesses as much as possible. And also, cookies were involved.
Anyway, I looked out the window and spotted this wall on the building next door. Suddenly cookies didn’t seem that important.
For just a short stretch of wall, this one has a lot going on. In a good way.

Trash, and a burro
There’s a one-block-long street in Santa Fe called Burro Alley; in the 19th century it was the place where firewood sellers would park their wood-laden donkeys. And then, apparently, the sellers would spend the money on booze and hookers.*
Now it’s just a little side street, with a burro-festooned gate and some trash containers.

*Historical note: in over seven years of blogging, this is the first time I’ve used the term “booze and hookers.” I mention it because I thought you’d want to know.
