State Road 14 connects Albuquerque and Santa Fe, New Mexico, and is part of a National Scenic Byway called the Turquoise Trail. In this photograph, I liked the textured layers of the mountains in the background as well as the sense of spaciousness created by the road leading away into the distance.

New Mexico—Sandia Crest
New Mexico is very appealing for photography, a wonderful blend of dramatic skies, interesting terrain and different cultures. We returned for a week in October of 2015 to drive back roads and explore some areas we had missed on a previous visit. This is a view of the Albuquerque Basin from the Sandia Crest. The Sandia Mountains are on the eastern edge of the Rio Grande Rift Valley and form a dramatic backdrop for the city of Albuquerque.

Cornwall–St. Just Church
The church here has existed since 500 A.D. Of course, the building has needed repairs and was last rebuilt in about 1500, but a congregation has existed here for 1500 years since the era of the Cornish saints.
