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

  3. 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.

  7. 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

  10. 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.

  14. 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!
