New Mexico

 


 




 
New Mexico
untamed and a force to reckon with
open and raw
the skies are as big as home.
 
 There is something wild about this landscape
 untouched, undefined and unrefined
 it makes me feel small
 
 a space that lets my thoughts move freely in and out as they appear
 
 not sure what to expect from this vastness
eager to explore

    Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! Welcome home and I hope you had a fabulous time. I haven't been to NM since my parents lived there, it's such a great state.

    Nice pictorial tour. New Mexico and Arizona are one of those places I'd like to drive through one day. I read a lot of westerns, Louis L'Amour and such, that paint such a great picture of the land in my mind...and have always had a fascination with barren places like the desert or the arctic.

    Beautiful landscape! The mountains remind me of our tip last summer.

    Beautiful photos, Camilla! I hope you've had a lovely, magical time away. One of the things that I love most about travelling is discovering a landscape's own unique and often shifting colour palette. I love New Mexico's pale yellow-green grasses, browns, greys and blues as seen through your eyes. Thank you so much for sharing a glimpse into your trip! xo

    The vastness of New Mexico can make one feel very small. I think that is the brilliance of it. So much raw, unspoiled landscape. It is easy to see why so many artists paint it's beauty.

    Beautiful! I haven't been there in years and it's right next door yet so different from AZ. You asked if I liked my new lens, the Sigma 150-500. Yes, very much, especially for birds. About half of those shots in the post you were referring to were taken with my Nikkor 18-300mm, though, which is much better for closeups like butterflies and flowers and also landscapes. But, for birds, the Sigma rocks!
