Death Valley Movie

This is a little movie we put together to give you a taste of Death Valley, a most remarkable place.

Artist Pallet

Found this big raven sitting on a rock posing in front of Artist's Pallet, Death Valley National Park

20 Mule Team Canyon2

We are in Death Valley. One of our favorite spots is 20 Mule Team Canyon. If you think you have seen hot and dry, you haven't seen nuttin' until you've been here.... It is spectacular!!

Valley Of Fire

The Valley Of Fire is Nevada's first state park. The colors and textures are amazing. It is a short 50 miles from Las Vegas yet few take the time to visit.....

Las Vegas Office

Another tough day at the office in Las Vegas!!

Loneliest Road In America

We are working on our latest documentary about the Las Vegas water grab attempts. We are in Delta Utah and recently took a rather lengthy drive along what is often called the loneliest road in America. It is US highway 50. We learned why it earned this name. No services, no cell coverage and, well, nothing... here is a photo we took. It has earned its name!! Click on image for the full size version

Don't Need Roads

Took a little 4WD adventure today outside of Moab. Spectacular country and no, we don't need a road....

Arches National Park

Spent some time in Arches National Park today..... Just too beautiful!!
This is Balanced Rock. I just love this place....
The other shot is "Park Avenue" and is equally a awesome. I would heartily suggest a trip here.

Mesa Verde Burn

There can even be beauty in destruction. This once lush forest in Mesa Verde National Park stands decimated from fire, and yet its beauty, texture and colors show nature's handiwork. This image was taken moments before sunset this evening.... To be witness to this was way out beyond awesome.

Rio Grande River Gorge

This is the Rio Grande River Gorge. We took a little Jeep trip along the west rim and down through the middle. We crossed the Rio Grande at the Taos Junction. It was just beautiful.

Dining Car

An old train dining car. Still in use, albeit in a railroad museum..
This was in a little town outside of Santa Fe. The old railway station is still in use. It is called Lamy. Talk about a blast from the past.

And Along Came A Spider

We took a little road trip photographing New Mexico ghost towns and found this beautiful female cat face spider devouring a fly. Very, very impressive! For the whole thing CLICK ME.

Windmill

As we explored some of the high desert on the outskirts of Santa Fe, we found this windmill (and a lot of others) standing out against the billowing clouds of the New Mexico sky..... beautiful!!

Roasting Chiles

Now here is what you do in Santa Fe this time of year. You roast chiles and devour them. This is a photo of Trixi's chiles sizzling on our patio. They were delicious..

San Miguel Chapel

San Miguel Chapel in Santa Fe is said to be the oldest standing church structure in the US.

A lot of history here... Santa Fe was founded in 1610 and is currently gearing up for a 15 month 400th anniversary celebration. Quite a place. (Click for full size image)

We took a little walk in Santa Fe today along Canyon Road. It is also known as gallery road. This is what greets you as your turn onto Canyon Road. It gives a whole new meaning to "losing face"... Bad pun.

Santa Fe Lightning

Trixi shot this one from out our Motor-Home window. A lightning strike in an RV Resort is quite a site, especially when you are staying there..... EEEEEEE-HAAAAAA....

Spanish Market

Once a year Santa Fe hosts the "Spanish Market". It gives festive a whole new meaning. This is a mariachi band. It was a wonderful day enjoying the fiesta!! CLICK FOR HIGH RES VIDEO

Native American Market Place

Seven days a week there is an Indian Market Place in downtown Santa Fe. There are multiple tribes represented selling their hand-made art. Pretty impressive. They have to draw lottery numbers at 8 every morning to get a spot. Some win, some don't. Anyway, here is a quick shot of what it looks like.

Santa Fe Mall

We've been spending quite a bit of time shooting downtown Santa Fe as part of our project. This view of the Mall was beautiful. Keep in mind I HATE malls and for me do like one it has to be pretty special. (Click photo for larger view)
