...Santa Fe and New Mexico...

Just in case you missed his postings here on RFF, be sure to check out Vince Lupo's "Mapping the West" project, Vince Lupo’s Mapping the West - Direction One Inc | Direction One Inc . Most of it was shot in NM, and perfectly captures the beauty and the strange, loopy quality of this place.
I'm glad my post brought you some cheer; yours did the same for me, since I often fear our democracy might be past the point of no return in the US. You Ozzies are an inspiration!

…was being sarcastic. Nothing like Socialists to lay waste in short order to everything it took decades to build. So good luck with that.

Personally? I think that the quicker we can lay waste to the looming environmental and social dystopia created by corporate capitalism, the better.

...like the Glorious Socialist utopias of the 20th century.
"What we learn from history is that no one learns from History", a quote I believe from Hegel. Suggest you acquaint yourself with the missteps of the past, Messr. Grouch.
 
How about some New Mexico?

I am well acquainted with the missteps of the past and present, and know too well that they span the political spectrum from far Right to far Left. I'm not advocating for a Glorious Utopia of any sort, since those are inevitably a one way ticket to a Gulag. I'm advocating for a human-centered, sustainable society of care, compassion, and respect, something that seems to be nearly impossible under Globalist corporate capitalism. Does anyone think that the aim of worldwide consumerist glut can be sustained, or is even desirable? What are the costs even in its present limited incarnation?
 
Glad to see you're not intimidated by San Francisco de Asis! It's been made so iconic by Strand, Adams, Gilpin, etc. etc. that I feel like there's nothing left to say, and no matter how many times I've been by there, my camera stays in its bag. Your photo is a bit of a kick in the pants (and in color, too!), so next time I'm in Taos, I just may have to give it a try. Then on to Hernandez, to catch the moonrise!
 
I suppose I should have expected Hernandez to be bleak because it was. Totally unrecognizable from when the great man make the Click. But it was an experience to have driven past……

Yes, & it takes a few turns to make your way to the church & the cemetary!
 
I've walked around the cemetary & the church a couple of years ago.
 
Another ghost thread returned from the - well, from wherever..

And a damn good one too.

If I can think of anything I've not already written about New Mexico, I will post again. This brief note just to say "good one!".
