Green River, Utah is a withering former mining town just off
I-70 in the center of the state. It’s a place that you stop when you can’t
drive any farther. You left Grand Junction in your rear view mirror a 100 miles
ago and it’s 100 more to the next services in Salina. When you do
condescend to take the off ramp you discover a bevy of decaying buildings and
the most incredible light come sundown. This little shed at a railroad
siding on the south side of town is one such treasure.

Mesa Vista
Ghost Ranch is one of New Mexico’s iconic locations, all red rock mesas, piƱon pines and scrub. It’s makes for a perfect photo jaunt which when combined with lunch at Bode’s General Store in nearby Abiquiu. After lunch jump over to Plaza Blanca for more New Mexico magic.

It's still life
For three weeks I’ve felt like I’ve had one foot in
Guatemala and the other here in New Mexico. I miss the adventure and freedom of
being in a new place yet I'm glad to be back home. I've been musing about
the nature of travel, especially the kind that allows enough time in a
place to feel like you almost live there. It’s like having two lives and those two lives add up to more than the sum of the parts. Two and a half lives maybe or three. It makes life seem
larger, longer and maybe even slower which in my advanced middle age seems handy.

This and that in Antigua
The cross of the church at the Convent of the Conception |
We're winding down on the trip that never ends. Time to get on with contemporary New Mexican imagery methinks. Then again, one never knows.
On the chicken bus to Pastores from Antigua. |
