The Magic of Santa Fe, NM

Fine Art Museum

San Franciskus statue in front of the Cathedral in Santa Fe

A modern version of San Franciskus - I call him "the happy Franciskus"

No flash allowed in the Cathedral!

her name was: Kateri Tekakwitha, 1656 - 1680

You can buy everything tasteful in Santa Fe, it has not to be just art :)

The place where all the Natives are selling their beautiful jewelry

At the Plaza are also other vendors selling their art work...

Like this photographer we met and had an interesting small talk with him about...yes, about what?.... photography, of course :)

Dave got hungry - but the restaurant was NOT good and I don't recommend it for many reasons! Ask me why first before you're planning to go there, I'll tell you the story! :)

Again, the architecture is just beautiful!

We rather would have gone for a Pizza in this colorful pretty Pizzeria!

Inviting decors for shopping also in the streets

Window shopping - I LOVE turquoise!

Colorful red hot Chili peppers, also pretty for decorations in the house

Hi my friends,

I hope you'll enjoy my small collection of photos for this post :) Santa Fe is beautiful, it's magic, yes! I would go there anytime again and I would even stay the whole summer. I have enjoyed every single hour there!

Today we arrived in Colorado already. The landscapes were again beautiful and amazing! The weather is great and warm, also here. I'll show you pictures for sure :)

Thanks for all the wonderful comments from yesterday!

Silver City - A Colorful & Arty Town

View of the Main Street in Down Town - I loved this little hill town!

I don't know if this is the City Hall, I'm not sure

A pretty catholic church - in pink

Impressive sign for a music shop in Down Town - do you recognize all the musicians?

This mural looks good also with the cars in the front! :)

Indian - Mexican style deco on a private house wall

I'm sure if we would have spent more time in this pretty town, we would have discovered many more of this nice murals, like this one.

In the arty and gallery quarter was a coffee house - and some people enjoyed outside the warming spring time sun

Around the corner of the same coffee house were more inviting benches to sit down

A bunch of dried hot, red chili peppers - it makes a nice decoration on every wall!

In front of a gallery was this wonderful painted bench with New Mexico subject

Allover town you can see these tiles on walls, on steps or just in the paved board walks - what a wonderful idea!

Pretty view into a window

Cactus flowers

It's springtime also in Silver City at almost 6000 feet high in the mountains of New Mexico!!!

Hi my friends,

Thank you so much for all the wonderful comments and compliments to my last post! I'm behind with my postings a little bit.... but please stay tuned and have patience - my problems were again the Internet-connection.

I will have much more pictures to show you, beautiful pictures of landscapes we drove trough and places we have visited, everything was so overwhelming for me - I have to admit again and once more and I think it will be not the last time: this country is just surprisingly BEAUTIFUL - and endless BIG! :))
