National Wildlife Refuge, Las Vegas, New Mexico DSE0154 This is short grass prairie. It ran from here (just east of the Rockies) to the Mississippi and south to Texas and north to Canada. It was called the Great Plains. It hosted vast herds of bison, countless other animals, and many groups of Native Americans. It was here for millennia. It is gone.

Presbyterian Church, 1908, Taiban, New Mexico 246-03 A few years after taking this photo in Taiban, New Mexico, I was driving to Archer City, Texas. I saw a church on the side of the road and it looked familiar so I stopped and took a photo. I printed both when I returned home and they were exactly, precisely, identical. They are more than 300 miles apart. How did this happen in 1908? Is there another one somewhere? I don't know the answer.

Mary's Bar, Cerrillos, New Mexico DSC4955A I think Mary's Bar is terrific. No pretense, nothing cute or trying to be the cool place of the moment. Just a bar, owned by Mary.

Cemetery, Cerrillos, New Mexico DSC5056 This place is gloomy. Edgar Allan Poe would have loved it. Maybe I'd walk around here at night, probably not.

Sabinoso Cemetery, New Mexico 199-10 This old cemetery is unfenced, and seemingly unmaintained. The land appears to go on forever. Actually, it pretty much does.
