Wayne and Rob, thank you for your comments. It's fun to visit friends who live in Albuquerque and explore Taos and other nearby towns. It's a destination for art buyers which makes it fun for art admirers like my wife and myself.
Thank you Larry. I'm glad you survived your misadventure. People are weird sometimes. I remember when it was relatively safe to hitchhike in the '70, but read reports of some idiots throwing bottles from speeding pickup trucks at hitchhikers.
Thank you Giangiorgio. I have a friend who refuses to take a nature photo with a human in it. Sometimes it really helps to have a person provide scale to an image. I shot some, I thought, great pictures of a glacier in New Zealand from a small plane, but with nothing in the frame to show scale, the photos could have been of a snowbank next to a road. Scale matters.
