White Canyon

by Paul • December 11, 2006 • 11:41 PM • Comments: 0

Pictures from the Thanksgiving trip to New Mexico, but I'm just getting around to posting them now. These are from a place called White Canyon, near Abiquiu (rhymes with barbeque). The third picture helps to explain why this canyon has been a popular spot to film scenes that are supposed to take place on the moon. The really low gravity around Abiquiu makes it look all the more realistic. The last picture is of an adobe mosque built by a community of hippies who converted to Islam in the ’60s and settled in Abiquiu. Georgia O'Keefe's Ghost Ranch is not far off.

Notice the blue of the sky. You just don't see that anywhere else.
