Colors of Santa Fe ix

Posted by Ron (Saint Louis, United States) on 9 October 2008 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.

This is chamisa - a deciduous shrub that has a beautiful yellow bloom in the fall. It grows wild all over the high desert of New Mexico. This is a small clump, growing in an alley in Santa Fe.

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.
