christmas
In case you don’t know this: in New Mexican restaurants, you’ll get the choice to have your food topped with either red or green chile. And if you’re bold enough to want both, it’s called “Christmas.” And that’s what I was thinking about when I spotted this scene and made this photo. (On a side note: if you want to use the west-facing aluminum window frame to brace your arm while you make some images, you may need to seek medical treatment for burns to your skin. FYI.)

very high
I mean, it’s not dangerous enough to fix the letters on the sign to remove any confusion, but still: be careful.

in storage
There’d been a fire at this building. And now, for some reason, it’s being used to store used office furniture. It was weird and surreal in the way that of course will cause me to stop and make approximately All The Photos before getting back on the road.

so. much. knotty. pine.
The day it was 109° at home was – by a very odd coincidence – the day I decided that a weekend in the mountains was the thing that needed to happen.
The cabin had just the right amount of knotty pine paneling to make it feel like we were inside a tree. And the elevation – almost 8,700 feet – meant that it was nice and cool.

pool (4th floor view)
So, what happened was that the crew installing the conduit for the new fiber lines installed that conduit RIGHT THROUGH THE MIDDLE of our sewer line. And that made our sewer, uh, not drain. And THAT led us to a lovely little staycation at a local hotel that did have operable sewers.
And that, naturally, led me to make this photo of the swimming pool from the 4th floor elevator lobby.
Because I did take my camera with me on our little trip.
