Interest in generative linguistics, history of photography, biomedical research, astrophysics, history (1930s), art criticism, critical history ...

But really just an old fuddy-duddy occupying time with reading, photography, and travel.

No loss.

Oh, do we have artists in New Mexico? Try Georgia O'Keefe. She who taught us about ourselves through erotic botany and then showed us the Ghost Ranch near Abiquiu.

Taken about 300 yards from her house at 11pm.

Somehow that does not look like the petrified wood at PFNP, where striations are oriented along the lines of original growth.

From high up, it's easy to see why they call it Chaco Canyon.

I should hop in the car and go down to see if the birds have arrived at Bernardo. I'll tell you, though, that I am still in shock about the cancelation of the 2025 Festival of the Cranes at Bosque del Apache NWR.

I just can't not post this. These three are literally writing history. I can only hope that it isn't the history of the end of this country.

Thanks to MAGA extremism, the yearly Festival of the Cranes at Bosque del Apache NWR has been canceled.

I can't yell you how terrible this is for the central New Mexico economy, for photographers, and for the cranes.

Rep. Stansbury is on the right.

And look who is standing right beside her! 😀

Another season behind us. Top up for the coming months. The eMGB.

You recognize him? Robert Plant. With Gov. Lujan Grisham and Rep. Stansbury. (I don't know the guy on the left.)

This one gets me in another way, too. Three or four of the figures appear to be playing something like a flute. One is immediately reminded of the Kokopelli.

Except that I don't recall any depictions of Kokopelli that have what appear to be a phallus.

A different cultural heritage? Or bad memory?

The coloration, the iconography across multiple panels, and the horse lead me to believe that those parts of the panel are not only post-Columbian, but also culturally distinct from the originators of the more faint petroplyphs.

The Sand Island petroglyphs are along that rock ridge. Still haven't figured out how to shoot in a more interesting fashion. Foreground, background, something.

One of the reasons I love the Pentax K1 is that I don't have to put up with the likes of this little disaster. (In defense, the pic wasn't from the K1.)

Here's the current state (no pun intended) at PNM, the state's largest power company:

Well, whaddaya know! Among all the Teslas and Rivians, the eMGB stole the show! Even the event organizers -- the electric company that serves most of the state -- were super happy about the car!

(This is the eMGB at the local grocery store, bit st the exhibition.)

When I was a kid in the 1950s, we went for a Sunday drive up to the top of Sandia crust. Up there, I was kicking rocks around and found a clam shell imprint.

Sure started me thinking about things.

BTW, here's a nice image that I show to visiting friends.

A little quotation seems appropriate. (I don't know if the tiny url still works or not.)

Away from home at the moment. Can't wait to get back home and hit the street!

You betcha! Classic all the way!

All the same ... except under the hood. Which is now electric. :)

Taking a few days off the US Highway 50 project, but did get one shot in on the way here. Just couldn't possibly resist: This is the highest spot along all of Highway 50, coast to coast. Monarch Pass, Colorado.

Once this rally is over, project continues near Salida, CO.

The last of the Gunnison-area photos for the Highway 50 project. And some telephoto compression. Across the gorge / lake, Blue Mesa offers eye-candy palisades. The highway in the foreground. (Generally, I would have excluded the highway, but for this particular project ...)

I don't know, but I am finding B&W more and more appealing.
