Colors of Santa Fe vi

Posted by Ron (Saint Louis, United States) on 6 October 2008 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.

Beds of cosmos, geraniums, marigolds and roses fill the walled gardens of Santa Fe. Chamisa, sage brush and wild asters dot the landscape in a flurry of autumn color, but with nighttime temperatures flirting with the freezing mark their days are numbered.

This series was shot in Santa Fe, New Mexico – the oldest capital city in the United States (settled in 1610). Santa Fe is home to a diverse mix of cultures, including Native-, Hispanic-, and Anglo-Americans. It sits nestled among the Sangre de Cristo mountains at about 7000 feet (2134 meters) above sea level. Everywhere you turn in Santa Fe you notice a beautiful, rich color palette.
