Fonds d’écran New mexico (5)

While driving accross New Mexico I decided to get off I-40 and explore some of the old route 66. I saw this old truck and sign in Tucumcari, New Mexico.

Taken at sunset in the Bisti Wilderness, New Mexico. This was such a beautiful and fascinating spot we visited in New Mexico. The Bisti Badlands is a "scenic and colorful expanse of undulating mounds and unusual eroded rocks" located along highway 371 in quite literally the middle of nowhere. It's so far from anywhere that the silence seems absolute and a little eerie. If you ever have a chance to check it out I strongly suggest it.

Dulce is a small town in Northern New Mexico. This old wagon is standing in the middle of the town. I thought is was a good photography subject so I took few shots of it. Now that I went back to get more information about it, I had no idea this town had such a mysterious reputations.

The Very Large Array is a space observatory that converts electric signals from space into images, but doesn't really "listen" to space like the movie Contact makes us believe. It is an impressive site to visit! I thought a duotone was appropriate here as the sky was overcast with a haze.

Driving on Highway 285 South from Santa Fe to Roswell, New Mexico, I had to stop as the sky was putting up a show for me. The yellow desert grass was lit up by the evening sun, and created a perfect rainbow under that rain storm on the horizon. It was a spectacular evening that day.
