UNM

I like walking through the Campus on weekends when there are few people and one can better enjoy the Southwest-style architecture. The Zimmerman Library is an especially impressive example of the Pueblo and Spanish influence which has guided the architects over the years. The treatment of the passages, stairs, walkways and ramps often has a more modern feel which departs from the basic style, but which mostly fits in well with it.

The camera was an Ikonta 521/16 folder which I've had for many years, but done little with. I was pleased to see it performing well after a few recent adjustments. I have added a page on it to the vintage cameras section of my web site.

A Slide Show from my walk.

The summer rains have filled the river and turned the bosque lushly green.

Downtown

Living in an urban setting provides many opportunities for exploring the forms and textures of the built environment as revealed by the ever-changing light.

A couple walks through Albuquerque's central downtown area produced some photos which can be viewed in a slide show format.

Tecolote Trail

Any list of the good things about Albuquerque has to include its proximity to the Sandia Wilderness. Today, we walked the short Tecolote Trail on the east side of the mountains.
