you must travel on alone
I’ve mentioned before the challenge in traveling to a well-photographed place like Santa Fe is finding something different to photograph. I used the well-proven tricks of looking down alleys and between houses and there it was: a bicycle that seemed to be waiting out the winter.
Today’s Bruce Cockburn is an old one,“Man of a Thousand Faces,” which was released in 1970. (I first typed that as 1790 – which is just slightly incorrect…)

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.
