And so we begin a new and rather long series. Two months ago, I went on vacation to a guest ranch in southwest New Mexico for a week. I took this on the long winding road to that ranch.
Camera: Mamiya 645 Super camera using Fuji Provia 400X slide film

il règne comme une angoisse sourde devant cette étendue désolée

The road, the sky, and the blue ridge of mountains reminds me of a particular stretch of road outside of Fort Smith, Arkansas. I could tell the land was from further west. Very scrubby growth. It's a superb image. I especially like how the sky seems to sweep over the scene.

I bet I'm going to enjoy this series. I've always wanted to go to New Mexico, but haven't made it there yet!

I like how the road seems to disappear. The mild hills and interesting sky combine to make a fine landscape. I'd like to drive down the road and check it out!

Now I'm sighing.... I'd love to take this long road right now! That sky... New Mexico is all about sky. A beautiful image to start your series with, Otto.

I like that deep blue sky against the warmth tones in the scrub land.
