A classic and whimsical New Mexican gate in Cerrillos.
New Mexican Culture
Petroglyph National Monument
Petroglyphs painstakingly carved into basalt on the west side of Albuquerque, at Petroglyph National Monument.
Rusted Gas Pumps
My cousin and I visited the Classical Gas Museum in Embudo last weekend. Among many other rusted treasures there were a group of old gas pumps.
Navajo Nation Sandstone
Sandstone rock formations along Indian Route 12, which crisscrosses from Arizona into New Mexico and back again. They were definitely in New Mexico — although it’s equally accurate to say they were in the Navajo Nation. There really is no distinction between the two states there.
Santa in Albuquerque
Whoops, looks as if Santa got a bit lost on his way out of Albuquerque. Hopefully he’ll be revived and back on track by next Christmas.
