Nice series. I like that part of the country. Last time I was in
Canyon De Chelly we took a guided tour of the valley. Our guide told us
some not too nice things about Kit Carson, who was one of my childhood
"heros". Well, we were going to Taos a few days later and I told our
guide I would spit on Carson's grave, so I found it and did. He was not
too nice to the Indians for real reason. Ah, how history differs
depending on what side you are on.

This is on the famous Canyon Road in Santa Fe, where many famous art
galleries are located. And yes, I was standing in the middle of the
street, much to Katya's chagrin. Fortunately, the street is narrow
and winding, and cars can't go very fast.
Here's Santa Fe's cathedral (and I'm standing in the middle of the
street again):

Here's an S-curve leading to some nice examples of typical Southwest
architecture:

Finally, another skirmish in the game of who gets to say what about
whom. This war memorial in Santa Fe's Plaza was erected in 1868. The
excised word in the third line was "savage." It was chiseled off by a
young protester in 1973. Recently, someone added a new adjective.

Olympus E-M5 and Panasonic 20/1.7 (first three) or 25/1.4 (last). Enjoy!
