BlackChampagne -- no longer new; improvement also in question.: New Mexico Photos, Part II

New Mexico Photos, Part II


I've gone through the 250+ photos I took in NM, and posted the 70 or so worth looking at on a photos page, in the long-neglected photos section. See them here, and prepare for a long loading time, since it's a huge page with a lot of large images. Despite that, most of them are 600 pixel wide thumbnails for full size shots that are 1200 pixels, so click the ones that have a link to see them much larger. These aren't as pretty as the Death Valley shots I posted a few years ago, but they're um... newer?

Here are a few sample shots, of higher quality than the cell phone cam ones I posted last week. See these and 65 more on the NM photo page. Or don't; I haven't checked my site stats in a year or more, so it's not like I'll ever know.


One of the countless desert-destroyed structures we saw near every road we drove in the high desert.



The blueness of the sky was constantly amazing to me. Incredibly clear air and cloudless skies.



A shot from Bandelier National Monument. These were Indian dwellings, a few centuries ago. They built them 2 or 3 stories high; the regular holes in the stone were drilled and fitted with wooden beams that formed the ceiling/floor between each level. Click for larger.



One of the 3 long ladders leading up to the large ceremonial cave in Bandelier. They look very easy in the photos, but were somewhat nervous-making to climb, with a 10 meter drop to rough stone, and guardrails to catch if you fell.



A view west along the Rio Grande Gorge. It's hard to judge the scale in the photo, but that river is about 200 meters down at the bridge, or so said the map.
