bound for the infinite
This is one of my favorite cemeteries to photograph, and I’ve never even been inside; it’s locked all the time. There’s a path all the around the outside and the wall’s almost always low enough to see/photograph the graves.
Or if you are really lucky, you can get the wall, the graves, the mountains, and a fast-approaching thunderstorm all in one shot. (And then, if you hurry, you can get back to your car to wait out that rain.)

flag day
Maybe you’re wondering if I am *still* showing Pride photos.
Yes. Yes, I am.
And there are still more on the way.

dust to dust
It does seem sort of ludicrous that a building material made of mud and straw can durable enough to last hundreds of years. And it’s also ludicrous that over time it just melts back into the earth it originally came from.
But the best part about all of this is the way these walls, as they gradually melt away, begin to take on the shapes of the surrounding mountains.

death, dancing (with sunglasses)
The route from Lubbock to Santa Fe goes through what’s left of the town of Taiban. It’s regionally famous because of the old wooden church that’s just a couple of blocks off the highway; it’s practically the law that photographers have to stop and take a million photos..
But there’s also this, a not-at-all-creepy skeleton leaning on a porch. He (?) is just off the highway and so has a great view of traffic heading west. But it’s pretty sunny out there so he (?) is careful to protect those eye sockets with a pair of mirrored sunglasses. Safety first.

even for a moment
So, it’s called Golden Hour for a reason…
And also, how cool that our casita came with its very own bell.
