The Land Of Enchantment

I spent the last four days on vacation in the enchanting land of northern New Mexico.

A land of dry air, dust, and wonder.

Sage and brush.

Rolling hills blanketed with shrub trees and sunset hues that have inspired artists for centuries.

Adobe and ladders.

Turquoise and silver.

Endless chili peppers and charming ristras

Gallery upon gallery of artistic inspiration in The City Different.

Desert vastness and the overwhelming beauty of a neverending sky.

Architectural details of a southwestern style born in the fusion of Hispanic, Native American, and Caucasian cultures.

It’s easy to lose yourself in such a place, you see. Such stark, startling beauty and rich, cultural traditions can sweep you off your feet and transport you, if only for a few days.

But oh, the beauty of such days….it stays with you, that feeling. Lingering far beyond the short time span in which you visited.

There’s a reason they call it the Land of Enchantment, after all.
