Low Rider

Not just any old truck, but a low rider in action—at the Dia de los Muertos Marigold Parade in Albuquerque’s South Valley, 2011.

Truck With Pumpkins

Outside Zion National Park, in Utah.

A Route 66 Icon

The neon sign of La Puerta Lodge, a Route 66 icon in Albuquerque, with a classic New Mexican sunset behind it.

Santa Rosa de Lima Graveyard

The graveyard in front of the old Santa Rosa de Lima church in — where else? — Santa Rosa.

Madonna and Pigeon

This carving of the Virgin of Guadalupe is in a cottonwood tree behind the San Felipe de Neri church in Albuquerque’s Old Town. I was told that the carving was originally done by a veteran returned from the Korean War — that he made the carving in thanks for his safe return from the war.
