Rambling around Santa Fe
Fellow Midland bloggers Wallace and Julie have just returned from a trip to Santa Fe, Galisteo and Chama, NM, and Wallace has a trip report along with some photos of gorgeous fall scenery at Galisteo.
Having taken the narrow-gauge train trip from Durango to Silverton, Colorado, his description of a similar trip from Chama sounds enticing (and even more adventurous...the Durango outing is pretty tame in comparison, although the scenery is still breathtaking).
While you're in Wallace's neighborhood, I recommend dropping by the website of his artist friend, Woody Gwyn. His stylized landscape paintings are intriguing, but I was really fascinated by the mixed media series entitled Skeletons.
Love Gwyn's work!
It reminds me of Gibson's depiction of Hell in the "Passion Of The Christ", the same barren desert with embedded skeletal remains.

Thanks for the mention. Having done both "old train" trips that we know of in New Mexico, our next stop will be the Silverton RR journey. Julie has done it and says that the scariest part of the trip is the bus ride to/from the train. Can't wait.
Woody Gwyn is a great guy and a piece of work. I loves his landscapes, but if he wants to paint skeletons....well that's why he gets paid big bucks to be a noted artiste! Woody lives in the oldest house in the region, a hacienda built in 1703. We were impressed with Galisteo.
