Weather in New Mexico is a spectator sport. Whenever it rains, people run from their places of work outside or to the window to see it rain. When rainbows appear, cars stop along the streets and highways so their drivers and passengers can take photographs. The same thing happens when it starts to snow. But autumn in the western United States, particularly in the Rocky Mountains, is something to behold. And it begins as early as mid-September in the very high elevations, spreading its wealth of gold, orange, and red down the mountainsides and between the ridges, spilling over into the river valleys as the days progress into October.
The next few blogs will be a photographic ode to autumn and harvest time. Many of the photographs that will be featured were taken along one of the most beautiful routes in New Mexico - Highway 64 between Tres Piedras and Tierra Amarilla.
These shots were made last week. The day was sublime!
Relish the autumn!
until next Monday,

Boy, I love the one on the left especially. Getting low to get the dynamic shot really worked.
ReplyDeleteDarly, your compositions and light balance in these are very refreshing, with a clear sense of presence. I, too, find apsens such a boundless subject for photographic exploration. Thanks for inviting me to your blog and I look forward to seeing more!
