My Place

I like the composition and tonality! The title suggests several possible meanings that enhance the mood of this photograph. Great camera choice as well. Nice work!

Funny... There are two things that come to my mind here. Were do you get your water from and how lovely your views of the nice clear night skies would be from New Mexico - the Dark Sky State!

Those are two good questions. I think we got only about 8 inches of rain last year. The Rio Grande is only about a mile to the East, but it is just ankle-deep this time of year. Fortunately for us, we have a good deep well that provides for us and the animals. People from the city do always marvel at the quality of the night sky, particularly when the moon is in its bashful phase as now.

This might be a long shot but is this near Las Cruces?

Twenty-two miles north on Highway 185. Be sure to drop in if you are in the neighborhood.

Wow, my entire knowlege of the southwest is limited to a few trips to Las Vegas and Las Cruces and yet this looked familiar. I could have sworn I'd seen something like this view while climbing in the Organs. A hidden gem of an area. Enjoy, and by the way thanks for the offer.

My most eastern hangout is...Lordsburg...tough place....Next time I go, my plan is to photograph the Greyhound bus stop when stunned folks step off into nowhere...The crowd always reminds me of Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath

Lordsburg is out there. Imagine what it must have been for the German POWs. My guess is they would have felt just as comfortable on Mars.

Maybe its time to put my Lordsburg images back up again. BTW I had relatives from Europe visit some years ago. When I stopped between Bisbee and Sierra Vista, I noticed that the distances and open spaces were actually frightening them..it was just too much. (OK, I have put the Lordsburg folder back up, will put some newer images in it).
