Blocked
The thing about going someplace like Santa Fe is that all the regular stuff has been photographed about a million times. (I’ve made those shots, too: it’s some kind of law or Photographer’s Code or something, I think.)
But after that’s out of the way, it’s time for peering down alleys. And walking around back.
And that’s how you find a short alley, blocked by a trash container, with a discarded Christmas tree in the far corner.
I like it a lot better than another photo of the Palace of the Governors.

The Thaw Before the Storm
The snow was melting on Christmas afternoon and on our walk along Canyon Road, we picked our way between puddles and icy patches of snow, trying to keep on the dry pavement.
The weather was changing, though. In fact, we left a day earlier than planned to beat the storm, and we barely made it: new snow was already falling when we left.

Squared
A large glass and metal piece in front of the Hunter Kirkland Contemporary gallery in Santa Fe. The squares of glass moved in the breeze, giving the piece a nice kinetic quality.
(Unfortunately, I don’t know who the artist is, and a review of the artists’ pages on the gallery’s website didn’t help.)

Left in Hopes
Because of its reputation as a healing site, many of the faithful visit the church at Chimayó. The churchyard has many small shrines, each one festooned with items that have been left in hope of a miracle.

Outdoor Seating is Available
But just because it’s available doesn’t mean it’s a good idea…
