The light was perfect when I came across this spot near the John Dunn bridge. This is a block-in of 99.9% transparent colors. The light in New Mexico is so amazing that it really calls for transparents to capture the glow. I made the decision to leave it as is and call it done. I'm so glad I did.

Following the Rio Grande

One year my husband and I followed the Rio Grande from El Paso, Texas to Taos, New Mexico. This route added hours to our trip but it helped us bypass a lot of desert and see something green all along the way. I can't remember exactly where this particular scene was but someday I will go through all of the photos and get it narrowed down. The best I can do right now is say it was somewhere south of Albuquerque and north of El Paso.
