landscapes, New Mexico




The most striking thing about New Mexico is the constantly changing landscape. Pink mesas. Deep gorges. Gray buttes. Alpine meadows. Snow-capped mountains. White sands. Massive cottonwood trees whose yellow leaves glow as if lit within. No wonder Georgia O'Keeffe was so inspired.

Above pictures from the extraordinary Taos Pueblo. You can read about it about it here and here.

  5. Hello Jen, It all sounds very beautiful. The complexity and architectural massing of the Taos Pueblo is amazing.

  8. I imagined the settlement of folk from Mexico seeing the significant building. I came to know one more new aspect of the US. Thank you, Jen. And have a nice travel.

  9. Taos is one of the few NM places I've yet to visit. I always figure it will cost too much. Beautiful photos Jen.
