A Feast of Light and Beauty at Encantado Resort's Terra Restaurant.

Last Wednesday's sunset from the Encantado Resort's Terra Restaurant was spectacular.  Along with an enjoyable glass of full bodied red, I savored the colors, the light and the view of the Jemez Mountains.  It was a surprise to me that this feast of light and beauty would be part of the evening's culinary experience.

Santa Fe's Country Side at Dusk

July and August bring monsoon rains and spectacular sunsets to Santa Fe.  After a summer rain,  the scents of pinon, juniper and sage fill the air, while the sky becomes brilliant with color and dramatic light.  

In the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. on the outskirts of Santa Fe,  one can find amazing views, tranquility and inspiration.  Here are some of my photographs from last Thursday at dusk, where you can see the magnificent  colors and beauty of northern New Mexico.
