Fall colors 2012....here they come! Expect alot more of these types of shots over the coming weeks as we slide further from summer. I may suffer my way through winter but I'm infatuated with the cool air and bright colors…
So I’m standing in a field just north of Taos, New Mexico taking my umpteenth sunset shot and I finally get to wondering – beyond the smoke or dust in the air, what is it that causes these red sunsets?…
Despite the fact that Vancouver BC is one of the most interesting cities in the world, MY most Perfect Day in Vancouver actually takes place (for the most part) just outside the city. To avoid disputes, then, lets just say…
Rio Grande Gorge Our big river begins way up in the wilderness peaks of Colorado, passing nearly 2,000 miles to the Gulf of Mexico where it limps, putrid and polluted to the sea. Here in Taos, the river wends through…
