The Witchita mountains are suitably dramatic in a
state which is rather flattish overall.
A few signs that amused me... |

Now who could that lady at the window be? taken as
seen. Now who would use old
missiles for garden furniture? Maybe a Vietnam veteran... |

Saturday morning early, and we were on
the long drive (over 500 miles) to Albuquerque via Amarillo. We had to
stop in Amarillo 'cos there was a panorama of mine that I knew had been
blown up to 40 feet long by six feet high for a new supermarket!
We found it fairly easily and ventured
inside, not knowing quite what to expect. |
 |
 |
There it was, and I was made most welcome by the
manager who asked me to sign it for posterity! |
 |
So I did, yet another first for one of my
panoramic photographs! |
 |
Thanks also for the excellent lunch, if I lived
nearby we would shop there! |
|
Later that day, we rolled into
Albuquerque, New Mexico for a two night stay. |
 |
We were told of a restaurant with a tree growing
through the middle, and hey diddle diddle, it was easy to find. |
 |
 |
A beautiful star lit sky for our walk back to or
pueblo style rooms at the Casa de Suenos Old Town Inn near the old town. |
 |
The history of the city was all around to be seen and
read. I prefer to take pictures. |
|
No wonder this guy looks unhappy, I
would too if I had a chain around my neck.
Statues feature all around, far more
than I show here. All very beautifully executed. |

This young bronze lady is trying to ignore the huge
missile that stands outside the Atomic museum that I guess comes here by
association with Los Alamos that is not too far away.
Jean shares a bench with....? |

Later that (hot) morning, we visited the
Native Indian museum a few blocks away from downtown. There were events
on all day, we just captured a few of them. |

Next, we were to climb a nearby mountain the easy
way; by the worlds longest aerial tramway. Yep,
and this isn't Texas. |
