My browser is cutting off the right-hand part of these photos. Not sure why. So I added links as well.

They look fine on my browser. Great photos! Glad you had a good trip. I may go visit my cousin in Sante Fe. He invited me. We'll see. Haven't been out there for years.

You have a cousin in Santa Fe? Cool. My sister, the artist, is trying to get me to relocate there. It's a pretty big art town, and well, she just loves New Mexico ...

Glad you enjoyed the photos. It's funny-- I have two browsers, Explorer and Firefox, and they both chop these pictures. Strange ...

wonderful images sure to excite your fondest memories of the last trip into the land of enchanted desolation disguising the real beauty so many miss.

gracias, amigo!

mnaz: funny that there is a place really called "Malpaís" ... it sounds challenging!. Gracias for sharing the beautiful photos!!!!!!!!

amazing photos !.......the vast beauty overwhelms

[mnaz]

Thanks, all.

Cec: Thanks. I hope to get down there again, this coming year.

Arcadia: Yes, the Malpais is a real place-- a vast lava flow. It's impassible for vehicles, and really, on horseback or on foot as well (although there's a "secret passageway" through it that only the local Indian tribes knew about until the start of last century).

saw: Thanks. I love the wide-open spaces for sure. I'll probably always be a Westerner.

There is a great Indigo Girls song called Southland in the Springtime that reminds me of your fascination with the west ( and WHY NOT )...so gorgeous, part of the chorus mentions their favorite season...adding when
"God made me born a Yankee, HE WAS TEASIN' "....sweet photos
