The landscape north of Santa Fe, New Mexico was more than enough to inspire my inner Ansel Adams during the recent road trip my wife and I took between Phoenix, Arizona and our home in suburban Chicago.The photo above was taken near the small town of Whiterock, New Mexico. A town park offers a spectacular view of the Rio Grande valley and the Sangre de Cristo Mountains in the distance. I processed the photo in black and white to pay homage to Adams. I think black and white really helps play up the ruggedness of this region.
Just a little north of Whiterock is the small village of Hernandez, where Ansel Adams took his famous moonrise photo. I can see why he spent a lot of time here. It's a fascinating portion of God's creation.
