All good things must come to an end. As do - thank the heavens - the frustrating/tiring/dramatic ones. After what seemed like 27 schedule changes, the Legion heavyweights decided June 1st would be the last day of shooting. What made this a little odd was that 2nd Unit (the crew that takes care of m…

I took the new Rail Runner train from Santa Fe into Albuquerque to catch my flight home.  A one way trip is only $7.  The ride was very smooth and picturesque.  Although we couldn't take pictures half the trip because we were on indian reservation land.  When…

Today we were leaving Amarillo, and we had a long way to go. We were going to spend the night in Gallup, NM, but planned a stop in Santa Fe to see the Lorreto Chapel, famous for the Miracle Staircase. Distance from Amarillo to Gallup was about 450 miles. We wanted to leave reasonably early, so we c…

As we were ambling about Santa Fe the day before, we came across a narrow street and I exclaimed to Kim that there was a good breakfast joint a block away.  We hiked down and there was Pasquales!  This truly is a hip joint and when I hinted where I would like to consume breakfast over…

Maybe I am a tough critic, but all I ever heard people say was "you gotta check out Santa Fe, it's awesome! There's so much Indian art, jewelry, etc." Obviously, I HAD to see what this city as well as the capital of New Mexico was all about. Although, my advice was accurate about the mass quantitie…

Due to weather, we decided to skip Telluride. Although we could have gotten there, we wouldn't be able to leave tomorrow maybe even the day after.

Random Photos of Santa Fe, Taos, Albuquerque, etc. I have thousands more from over the years if anyone is looking for a particular image. :-)

Here's something a little more recent. I spent a good week in New Mexico in June. I love going to Santa Fe and the Taos area in the fall/winter. Usually between Thanksgiving and Christmas. The cool air, the smell of pinon wood burning and the luminaries the line the adobe structures. Majical. I never had a chance to check it out in the summer. So I did. As much as I enjoyed all the color, I still like the winter feel the best!!!!

I was lucky to come up here for a week-long army course but whenever I was off work, i was out and about town. This city has soo much history and being a lover of architecture I was enthralled to see majority of the buildings in the tradionally stucco 'Santa Fe' type exterior buildings. At night I…

The chapel was constructed in 1626-28 by Fr. Alonso de Benavides. It is call…

A weekend in the southwestern U.S. to experience the beauty of New Mexico. I especially enjoyed Bandalier National Park, Santa Fe and Albuquerque.
