May 27 - Drive to Santa Fe

I've been traveling on vacation for the last week, so I have a lot of updating to do during the next few days. The trip included stops in Santa Fe, Durango, Mesa Verde National Park, Arches National Park and Canyonlands National Park. Needless to say I still have a lot of pictures to process.

On the way out, we stopped in Oklahoma City to see the Memorial. I thought is was really well done and well worth the visit. Here's my tourist snapshot...


In the panhandle of Texas, even the BBQ grills are Texas-shaped. This one's from a windmill powered rest area.


And this is my first New Mexico Sunset - not a great sunset, but I had fun stopping on the road and shooting this before the light disappeared.


We arrived at Santa Fe in the dark - which may not be the best time to arrive if you've never been there before. Santa Fe has city ordinances that keep the city dark to keep light pollution down. This is really great, because it's one of the only cities I've been in where you can see the stars vividly, but it can make finding things a little bit more difficult.
