A sense of abandonment
There is a lot going on here, and not one thing indicates anything but more destruction for this old place.

Lamp/Light
Well, look who was feeling bold enough to include a person in the image? Sure, they are out of focus and all, but still….

It’s a Blessing
The July 4 band was playing all the usual songs. I wandered around, like I always do, with a camera and an idea that maybe there’d be something that would look OK in a photo.
And, just three and a half years after I made this shot, I noticed that the instrument case says “It’s a Blessing” on it. (I’ll wait while you give the photo another look.) And that’s only my second favorite thing about it – I love how it’s obviously been used for years and has the scars and scruff marks to show for it.

Blue Light Special
You’re going to have to trust me on this: those metal poles have tiny blue lights on top of them.

Train, arriving
The Rail Runner train from Albuquerque pulls into the station. It’s a nice way to see New Mexico from a vantage point that doesn’t include driving on an Interstate highway. There are a few places where the route passes through tribal lands, and photography is prohibited; the time I rode the train, as part of a photography class, the conductors kept a close watch on us during that part of the trip. Fifteen photographers and 30 or so cameras had them on high alert…
(Anyone age 62 and older can ride the train free on Wednesdays. Plan accordingly.)
