It didn’t look that lucky

Some sort of a gameroom, holding down a corner. Evidently, they no longer provide a sweepstakes, as that’s been (sort of) edited out.

Actually, they no longer provide anything: it’s out of business. A man from the house next door came over to see if I was interested in purchasing the building. He looked very confused when I said that I just wanted to photograph the place. I get that a lot.

Start of the spring thaw

We were there during that time of year when spring and winter overlap – new snow was falling in the mountains but melting at the lower elevations, already causing the streams to run with clear, cold water.

Sky Cross

I’ve been the Chimayó many times, and expect to see crosses everywhere.

Just not in the sky….
