Winter sunsets

The Lighting of Ledoux Street in Taos is a great street party, officially opening the holiday season.  It is an event where friends and strangers gather in the snow and cold and move from gallery to shop to gallery, catching up and breathing in the crisp air.

These shots were made just as the sun was setting, at the opening of the official lighting festivities three years ago.  The elm tree below was saturated in the last minutes of daylight.

The next two photographs are of Our Lady of Guadalupe Church near Ledoux Street.  The farolitos (sometimes called luminarias) can be seen on the roof parapets.

until next Monday,
