A sunset shot of Fajada Butte, Chaco Canyon, Chaco Wilderness, New Mexico, USA. Chaco Canyon has been termed the “Stonehenge of the Americas” because the pueblos were built with an orientation to the heavens. On the side of Fajada Butte are three rock slabs that have been arranged to cast shadows and/or to permit rays of light to interact with a stone tablet positioned behind them. At solstice and equinox, the sun and/or moon interacts with the tablets to mark the day. The Chaco Canyon ruins have been painstakingly excavated and it is easy to see the grandeur that was Pueblo Bonito. With its many warrens of rooms and passageways and more than 30 great kivas, it is surmised that it was a welcome center and convention hall for the puebloans who descended on the area from a wide range of far-flung territories, their purpose being to celebrate the solstice or equinox at Fajada Butte. Pentax K110D ISO 200 1/180 @ F8 160mm.
This landscape panorama is composed of three shots stitched together in Photoshop CS3. These features are volcanic plugs located in the Rio Puerco Valley of New Mexico. The weather this day was overcast and windy, with very light snow flurries. Those conditions aren’t conducive to New Mexico landscape photography, so this was more a scouting expedition than anything else. Toward the end of the day, some light did break through in streaks and spots, and this view opened up just as we stopped to appreciate it. Pentax K110D, 1/125 @ F11, ISO 200, 144mm

Spider Rock stands with awesome dignity and beauty over 800 feet high in Arizona’s colorful Canyon de Chelly National Park (pronounced da Shay). Geologists of the National Park Service say that “the formation began 230 million years ago. It stands windblown sand swirled and compressed with time created the spectacular red sandstone monolith. Long ago, the Dine (Navajo) Indian tribe named it Spider Rock. Stratified, multicolored cliff walls surround the canyon. For many, many centuries the Dine (Navajo) built caves and lived in these cliffs. Most of the caves were located high above the canyon floor, protecting them from enemies and flash floods. / This painting was created in my Grants Pass, Oregon Studio / Featured in / Spirit of the Native American / First People of America
This one room schoolhouse is in the New Mexico ghost town of Riley. I’ve heard tell the town was abandoned in the 1950s, and that sounds about right, given that they were still using an outhouse right up until the school closed. For those younger than a “certain age,” that tin-roofed shed seen through the window is the outhouse. This school building, the outhouse, and the church are the only structures left in Riley that have four walls and a roof, so one could say that education, elimination, and salvation are still on offer here. All else is entropy. Pentax K20D, 1/125 @ F/10, EV Comp -.3, 18mm
I originally posted this as a color shot and then Mary Ann wondered what it would look like in black and white. I gave it a go with a red filter in Paint Shop Pro XII and I liked it, so here it is! This lovely church, completed in 1815 in the style of Spanish Mission, was made world famous by the magnificent early works of Georgia O’Keefe and Ansel Adams. Since their time, thousands of succeeding artists have made the pilgrimage to Ranchos de Taos in honorarium, and to add their own images to the countless examples extant in the modern age. This is a composite of two photos subsequently cropped to create a single photo in a 2:3 aspect ratio. Converted to monochrome in Paint Shop Pro XII. Pentax K20D, 1/160 @ F11, ISO 200, 20mm

The beauty of Delicate Arch is known world wide. When a first time visitor hikes to the arch, rounds the shoulder of the mountain, and glimpses the arch – the view is stunning and emotional. To a photographer seeking the definitive photograph – there may be a second stun – the crowd that may gather for the dawn, dusk, or moonlight! Across the canyon, nearly alone, I enjoyed this fascinating view of this rather modest gathering of photographers, families, honeymooners – as they soaked in the enveloping beauty.

This westward-facing juniper tree caught my eye at the Sandia Peak recreation area of the Cibola National Forest in New Mexico. I took this photo on June 27, 2009. When we flipped the page on our New Mexico calendar three days later, the same tree was used for the July photo, taken by David Meunch. A week later, I noticed the same tree on the cover of a New Mexico photo book by Laurence Parent. I guess it is sort of like buying a new car and then noticing how often the same make and model seems to cross your path thereafter. Pentax K20D, 1/400 @ F6.3, ISO 200. A three shot Photomatix HDR cropped to 6 by 13.

The American Southwest is full of contrasts…soft corners and prickly points, petrified wood and adobe textures…Most of the reasons why I wanted to come here and live. Thanks for viewing my photography.
